It cant go up and down that much, that fast, the air flow around it is a
pretty powerful thing. This along w/ the length of the tube and the air
mass in it should level out any turbulence. 

I don't see bumpy air getting in, but where the intake is makes the
difference.

For my purposes I would like to overcome the parasitic loss from the
intake manifold, etc.

Nice cool air. Ahhh.
