really simple flow bench idea

I am no engineer so please tell me if this is worth my time or not.
I can build this for about 30.00 bucks. Here is my idea.
Regulate my air source (an 80 gal compressor) to 5 psi. Attach and seal my 5 psi air source to a 5 foot 2"diameter pvc tube. Attach and seal the other end of the pvc tube to the intake port on my head. Now, I seal a 1foot, 4 inch diameter pvc tube to the combustion chamber associated with the intake port that my air source is attached to. On the other end of this 1 foot 4 inch diameter tube I seal an anemometer to measure the air in CFMs. This data will only be useful when compared to my baseline data, but for 30 buck I think I will be able to measure flow improvement or degradation.
