Velocity Stacks

[HomeDelight Man]

Hello,
Does anybody have any experience on using V-stacks on their saws? I put one on my saw and WOW what a difference.

i dont have any on my saws, but i have one or two on each of my trucks, they make alot of difference

What's a velocity stack?

 

[dbabcock]

It's a basically a piece of pipe that attaches to the intake of the carb where the air filter goes. By changing it's length, one can tune the resonant condition of the intake column of air that flows into the engine at a given RPM. This serves to increase power and also makes a dandy vacuum cleaner for sawdust and chips.

They kind of do for an engine what a horn does for a loudspeaker driver; only in reverse.  They create smooth transitions in air movement, thus increasing efficiency of the movement by matching the characteristics of the air on one end of the device (relatively static) to those on the other end (rapidly moving).

Thats because in 2001 there were only 10 members total. The sad thing is I remember this thread from when it was new

I remember reading it as a lurker just before I joined, and then when Bob resurrected it I remember thinking "why read all this old crap?"

Do you still have the KD headbanger? What a nice saw that was...
