Intake Design Exploration

Okay, I'm working with the formula's you gave me and I've got it narrowed down a little bit. I have found at least two parts where the pressure will affect the runner length:
The amount of air displaced (when calculating the velocity in the runners), and the speed of sound propagation (sqrt(gamma*R*T)). Temperature and Gamma may change with an increase in pressure. I'll post up the full formula I have when I've got the little details worked out.
