mmm.. Yes. I've seen this exact argument elsewhere and I think you were involved. My point is that this is an easily and relatively cheaply testable hypothesis. Also, we're not talking about intake runner length, we are manipulating plenum volume, albeit by adjusting the effective length of the plenum.
