But yeah, it is more restrictive than letting the metal divert the airflow. The most restrictive part of the system does not determine the airflow, it just has the biggest effect on it. If the throttle body at WOT causes 5% of the pumping losses, and you improve it's efficiency by 20%, you've gained basically nothing. And even if you make the system 1% less restrictive, that doesn't translate to 1% more airflow or 1% more power. You're more likely to have the screw come loose and play patty-cake with your pistons than you are to notice an improvement. |
