The discussion centers on optimizing intake runner design for a 2-barrel intake system, particularly for a torque-focused engine. Key points include the importance of maintaining runner size for airflow efficiency and the potential benefits of smaller runners for increased air velocity. Participants discuss carburetor sizing, suggesting that a 250 CFM carb may be more suitable than a 350 CFM for the engine's needs. The impact of runner curvature on airflow is debated, with a consensus that minor variations won't significantly affect performance. Ultimately, the goal is to enhance horsepower while considering practical design constraints.
