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.
Maybe you just didn't read my post fully:

All other things about the engine remaining equal, the engine will have to rev 22% faster to generate 695 bhp than it was spinning to generate 570 bhp.
