We did a bunch of dyno testing with Velocity Stacks at Holley and found in most cases the "Velocity Stack did nothing.

We put the same radius on a stove pipe the same height as the velocity stack and got exactly the same hp on several test days

A friend has a Twin Turbo SBF 34 Ford (tall hood line). He came off the Turbos, went upward to a 180 bend, and into the stovepipe (for each turbo)
the 10" stove pipe length really worked well with distributing the air to the Holley carb. Even under boost and a bit higher velocity air.

So if I hear Velocity Stack, I think "GOT YOUR MONEY SUCKER"
