What a good set up for air intKe on ggsr. I currently have k&n air filter attatched to airflow meter and then silicon hose to throttle body. I wanna get the most out of it. What good to do :)

That is fine on an NA motor. No point doing anything else unless there are some bends you can get rid of and you are keeping radiant heat away from the intake.

In theory, closer is better (slightly less ecu lag). I don't know if anyone has tried this in practice though. Some air flow meters don't like being too close to the throttle body (ie. less than 100mm) due to pressure back waves when the butterfly snaps shut.
But getting it closer might also make it more difficult to enclose the pod and get cold air to it which I reckon would be more beneficial on a highly tuned motor than having the afm close to the throttle body.

Oh Kay. Man there are so many theories to it aye. I was wondering coz I had a thought. That if the airflow meter was closer to the throttle body it'll give a more accurate reading as to the air going in. Also new more bends in the pipe cause less air. But bends can also create a whistle too
