Re: Which intake setup is better for a high horsepower engine?

Well, there are always fine points. Maybe they were in a rush to get it designed the first time and later came up with a better idea. Maybe adding that scoop on top gave them a tiny aerodynamic advantage over the competition, or added one or two extra HP. In racing, the money involved doesn't really matter, as long as it improves performance.

But, your assessment is correct, as long as the intake flows enough mass of air, it is sufficient. Adding more size to the intake won't necessarily change power as long as its currently flowing sufficient amounts.
