Yeah, Art, I remember your ealier post.  I had a hard time wrapping my mind 
around that idea as I didn't know
exactly how they worked.  I figured that the siphoning effect might actually 
help venting, but if the idea is to equalize pressure, that makes more sense 
than the turbulence overcoming the intake at the carb throats.

Is there any problem with shortening the tubes?
