Can you set a blower back too far?

I have a Mert 1471 Hi Helix and with the snout I got the blower opening on the bottom meaning the small part of the pie, is going to be 1 inch from the opening in the back of the intake. Is that too far back or am I good?

 

no takers on this one. i am surprised. It is a secret?

 

Man! you got the hh delta (the small one) and its that close to the back??? How long a snout you got anyway??? they don't make a 24 in that I know bout!

 

the snout is 12 3/4 long

 

why is it setting that far back

 

It is the way the intake was made I suppose. This is an Arias Chevy with Bac-Man heads. They are symetrical ports like a hemi. It has a mag intake and it doesn't look like anything special. With a 5 inch snout the front of the blower opening is at the very front of the intake opening.So now with the 12 3/4 snout the rear of the opening is all the way at the back I have discussed with Mike on here before about how the air comes out of the blower as well as the angle of the air. So I was just wondering if there is a piont where you can go too far back.
