Well, even though I will probably be sanctioned for it;
Lets revisit the question that was asked.

Truckosaurus; Would the larger restrictors not mean the extra power is released without having to rev higher?

I still contend that the engine (production type homologated) was not designed for maximum volumetric efficiency at the operating rpm range with the particular restrictor being applied by the ACO in mind. And that if it is allowed a larger restrictor it will produce more power without changing the rpm operating range with any significance. Point of example is the larger restrictor allowed with a/c and the h.p increase gained by it! Granted there comes a time when there is an over-saturation of combustables and to utilize them an increase in rpm or chamber pressure is the only way to do so, but IMO this does not fit into that category.
L.P.
