You are absolutely correct, that is a patented feature in our manifold. It is necessary for emissions and low speed drive ability. The "HVI", or High Velocity Manifold has been tested to 620 HP then the HP flattens out. The "big port" style manifold like the one Dave created from the HVI will be good to about 1500 HP before it sees issues.
In order for Dave to make the power he was looking to make (beyond 620) he needed to open the manifold up. I do not think low speed driving or emissions is a concern on this build.
