It's up to the throttle body opening to regulate that.

Scott had a reason for saying what he did....

Part of the problem with the site with people trying to learn like me is that there are so many contradicting articles on here. I've read many times on here and other sites saying you don't necessarily want a larger piping for the intake tube, and now its being said you do.
