i usually just use an intake hole slightly larger than the exhaust hole.

i run a stanley blower on high speed out a 6" exhaust. my passive intake is 7"

i seem to have plenty of air coming in and still have a slight negative pressure.

The stronger the negative pressure the better the circulation will be. High negative pressure pulls air in faster (in speed not volume) and hence will travel further.
