Well--what pressure drop was it rated 655 gm/sec at?? At .707 times 655
(463 gm/sec,) it would have only 50% of the rated pressure drop, etc. Mebbe
they actually did not want the thing choking off the engine too badly!!
But--you will lose dynamic range (sensitivity at low/idle air flows) if too
much of this game is played. Such is the trouble with MAF.
