Default How much does charge pipe size effect power?

May be a dumb question but whatever, is there going to be a noticeable power difference between ~1.5" charge piping vs 3"?

wow thats a really open ended question.


air velocity will have to be A LOT greater in a 1.5" pipe to match the volume of the 3" pipe. more velocity means more drag and eventually hitting a bottle neck


how much power are you trying to make?
