You are correct, Dan.
I'm running an 80mm maf with my 70mm tb, and the combo works quite nicely.
Midrange improvement is amazing, but the top end is still kinda soft. I expect that when I install headers in a couple of weeks and possibly yank the imrc, the top end will get very sweet indeed. As it is, my catless euro manifolds, as nice as they are over stock, are limiting upper rpm breathing.
We'll see...
