I know a standing pressure wave can be created by careful frequency manipulation, quite easily with computers and sensors.
Both vacuum and pressure peaks can be placed at specific spots during specific time to the valve open/close event cycle.
Lets say a vacuum standing wave was created just ahead of the air charge moving down the runner, especially around the bend. Pulling the air charge (since it is slightly less pressure) along. It should reduce resistance down the runner.
Standing waves can be shifted by slight phasing so it will move with the air flow. Like the air would be falling into the vacuum at the same speed the vacuum is moving away. Then when it reaches the opened valve induce a standing wave behind the moving air charge and slide it into the chamber just as the valve closes.
It will all happen very fast but computer controls can do this and the speed of sound is fast enough to be effective.
Or just have standing pressure waves pulse down all 6 runners at the same speed of the air charge, a simpler method. Each runner could have a focused sonic emitter, they push strong and don't require extreme energy.
It is a spin off of the other idea I had, emitting a general frequency that matched the valve open/close. The positive pressure wave arrives at valve open and the negative pressure wave arrives at valve closed. If the valve opens and closes 440 times a second, then 440 Hz will match just right. A little phasing to tune the pressure/vac wave placement and wholla, sonic augmentation.
