Not particularly wanting to get into a physics discussion here, but how exactly does more restriction in the intake give more torque? Is it something to do with bernoullis theorem? IE: like in a pipeline if the diameter is reduced the pressure increases but the flow decreases? A bit like a shower head:
A bit like a turbo increasing the pressure of the air entering the engine. So in theory if you had a slimmer intake RAM pipe for your induction kit and T/B and a huge filter it would be better? Just slower throttle response?
