intake add acceleration?
hi, i know the intake helps to give HP. i think for acceleration, but i dont know if can works in high speed i mean to get more speed 120-up. i put mine(frankencar) and didnt notice any change the top spèed is 127 mph with the intake and with stock air box. I like the loud and i think the car accelerate more but under 60 mph

To increase top speed by a certain percentage, you need to add the square of that percentage.
For example, if you want 10% more top speed, you have to add roughly 21% more power. The vast majority of losses are due to aerodynamics. Aerodynamic losses go up at the square of speed.

21% is not the square of 10% ...how are you getting these numbers?
