Backpressure is a myth... NO engines need backpressure. What all engines need (or rather, prefer) is tuned resonance.

I recommend getting the Racing Beat catalog, because it is also a pretty good base of technical info. Also good is Paul Yaw's technical articles, can be found on his site personal.riverusers.com/~yawpower

Most people recommend 2" tubes with about 110 inches before they collect... this is extremely long! The main problem is clearance under the chassis.
