You need to be careful when talking about airflow restrictors. Restrictors only limit the peak airflow. A “national engine” will not have its peak torque affected, only its peak horsepower. Peak torque happens before any restrictors would come into play. For example air restrictors on a “national engine” would not have any effect on its performance from the center of the corner to the flag stand. The engine would only be limited from the flag stand to the corner. USAC has plenty experience with this trying to equate 360’s and 410’s on pavement.
