Yes, to a large degree it is. Demon's response provides the explanation I was looking for. My thinking, and the purpose for posting it, was to get the reasoning behind why, I should say how, the resonator mod increased power on these cars. For example...
Relatively early in the thread I said:
"I agree that Dan's argument has probably alot to do with the correct explanation..." [Dan was discussing cumulative restrictions]"
and further that:
"I will take your word for it that the resonator swap can actually realize power."
I then said:
"If there is power gains then it must be explained by, not flow rate, but perhaps flow characteristics... who knows?"
Demon's discussion relating to turbulence and energy loss is the explanation I was looking for.
Some may be thinking: "So why didn't post this question in another manner?" To that I say, would I have got all this information if I had..........
Anyway, I appreciate all your input.
BTW hetfield, [tongue in cheek] I meant gay as in happy...LOL...
