Restrictor plate

has anyone one ever heard of some one (other then Nascar, and rally) using a restrictor to limit their horse power and increase Torque. A friend of mine has been talking about doing this to his EVO?

why would you want to intentionally get rid of horsepower. EVO's make enough torque. That car will run out of breath on the top end.

i would think this would be on the intake side.

yes it would be on the intake side. He has an obsession with Torque.

stoke the engine = insta torque

i still find it hard to believe that adding a bottleneck will increase torque.

I read up on it didn't find anything saying it increases torque just limits the engine. Maybe he knows something we don't. I'll have to research it some more
