Yes. With a larger restrictor you get more air, consequently you can now feed it more fuel because of the greater volume of air. Remap the ignition curve and timing and at a given (set) rpm you could/should produce more power as you now can burn more fuel. At least that is my rudimentary knowledge of how it works. Fuel+air=power, up to the given mechanical limitations of the engine you are working with.


L.P.
