Can you share the quick dimensions?
I had a pair of Indy 440-1 CNC 345 (Indy's CNC porting), and for comparison they were:
Intake_ Width Height Area
Opening 1.375 2.650 3.644

The area calcs don't account for the corner radius, just LxW

MW 2.68x1.38 R .625"
Pred 2.46x1.95 R 1.38"

So, this morning I thought the cross-section calc's were off and I'm redoing those and about to log-in so i can enter my error and I see 440Jim sent me a pm telling me the calc's are off. Honestly what a gentleman, I appreciate that you didn't point out my error publicly lol. But, I really don't mind if anyone points out a mistake constructively. With that said the Pred IS BIGGER than the MW 440-1 duh. I'll post better numbers when i have more confidence in my area chart inputs. Anyone that gets the chance, launch that link video Birdtracker posted for Alguires Predator Avenger. Car run goo
