Mike:
Sorry to be so slow to the response, but have been away on a critical contract
out of country.
Your repsonse gives cause for more questions than answers (and I guess the exact
reason I started this thread). I completely understand the theory, but what
amazes me is that with all of the extremely accurate digital instruments around,
has anyone not simple read manifold pressure at the same WOT and density
altitude???? That would give an instant and accurate answer to that question.
Secondly, now I would REALLY like to hear from someone with a late AG5B that has
installed the Lopresti cowl with its NACA duct feeding the carb air box.

The most common theory Ive heard to explain the lower speeds in the Tiger LLC aircraft
is the design of the induction system, specifically that the air intake
is in a relatively low pressure area of the cowl. Im not an engineer, so I
cant verify that, but the inflight performance data is accurate.

At one point in time my AG5B had the induction set up to derive the incoming
air from either the factory AG5B location on the bottom of the cowl or the f
actory AA5B location behind cylinder #3
This could be changed from one to the other while in flight.
The difference in manifold pressure was 3/4 to 1" with the AA5B inlet having
the higher pressure.
Just FYI,
The LoPresti nose bowl advertisements say that the NACA side scoop provides l
ower inlet air temps.
I put a temp sensor in front of the AA5B type inlet in my Tiger and found th
at the inlet temp is equal to the OAT at all times except when sitting on th
e ground in high OAT temps after idling for about ten minutes. Then the inle
t temp was a little higher than OAT
