Pitot for Intake Velocity

Post by ozrace »

What is the best pitot for checking intake port velocities ?
I know you have to be careful not to change the flow while testing.
I see that Perfomance Trends sell a mini pitot that looks pretty nice - is this the way to go, or is there something better out there.

i use a "J" style Pitot tube in intake ports from Dwyer or SuperFlow

Perfomance Trends is probably very similiar to those

whats most important is that on the Intake side, the Pitot tube is looped back to facing you ( 180 deg ) to measure port velocity

on exhaust a long 90 deg or straight Pitot works great
