I often thought about a better way to get more air to the engine.

I believe that the AFM would limit the amount of air the engine cold
ingest, at any given time.

It is not a manually controlled butterfly, and I think it would slow
down the flow of air to the engine.

If you would eliminate the whole computer controlled set-up, and went to
carburetors, then I think that a better air intake system would be
beneficial, but not with that air dam sitting between the throttle plate
and the source of fresh air.

Just my thoughts.
