I'm in the midst of designing a flow bench to use with our intake manifold and restrictor design this year. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with building this type of thing, or is using a home built one. I have access to a horde of sensors, and so on.

Specific questions:

1) What are you using for an air supply? Would shop air be adequate?
2) What sensors/information (other than pressures) are important?
3) What configuration of the apparatus is the most useful? (vertical pipe?)

Much appreciated...
