To much air

[bobdreadknot]

is it possable for the engine to take in to much air? i think it would look cool to have two, three, even four intake cone filters. just a thought for my new intake ideas iv been having.

No
Your engine is just an air pump, it will draw all the air it is capable of doing, and no more.
posts pics of your project, should be a hoot

I saw a picture in another thread of an intake with 4 filters. I think it's over kill. If you already have air coming in from one side, I don't think it will make much of a difference, since it only has one opening in the intake. If it would have a modified intake with 6 separate throttle bodies, then it would make a difference. Dual exhaust has both parts of the exhaust divided. If you would have 6 exhaust pipes, then that would add to this. Considering the weight to power ratio, it might be counter productive.

You can cause your motor to go lean if you put too much air into the motor without altering the fuel tables. If you go with a larger intake tube and a more free flowing exhaust, you can cause the motor to run lean which may cause motor damage from detonation. If you're going to start altering the airflow through the motor you would be wise to either get on a dyno and have the a/f ratio monitored or buy a wideband A/F ratio meter.
