What about the port? was: Do these things work?

[pbureau@attbi.com (ATS - Patrick Bureau)]

okay that I can understand, but in this case the turn is still made the same
(intake to gasket) and then it straight line again

soin paraboling what your saying, if the turn was there, anyways but instead
of a turn then arival, you have a turn and a stretch of straight line before
the finish line you would tehnicaly not only make your turn correct but be
able to accelerate that stretch of straight line to the finish line, so
actually your  flow would be better not worst no ?

=>Patrick-
=> Imagine a nice, constant-radius turn.  You are carving around it in your
=>'roc, on your way to first place in the Watkins Glen GP.  No, problems
=>right?
=>Now take that same curve, have the course marshall stand on the
=>side of the
=>curve, waving you over so that you have to make a jog to avoid some debris
=>left on the track by your closest competitor.  In the avoidance manuever,
=>you have to make two, quick, 23degree jinks...a short right-left.
=> Slows you
=>down, right?  Disrupts your smooth 'flow' through the turn, no?
=>Upsets the
=>process, just a little, but it hurts.
=>Same with airflow.
