You may take that for what it is worth. I know them, and I know how fast their stuff is, so I have no reason not to believe them.


We can just agree to disagree. I respect you. And I respect guys who build fast cars.

But I'll stand by the fact that the square law of flow vs pressure difference is an unarguable law of physics so long as the port flow is already fully developed.
