nope.

ok now i'm repeating myself, but i'll re-phrase to see if that helps:

say you have a 100hp engine. to go at x steady speed requires 14hp. to go at that steady speed we need to suffocate that 100hp down to 14hp.

agreed???

so the psi or lack of it matters not. if you have more psi ahead of the throttle SOMETHING must be done so that no more than 14hp is produced and that something is throttling back until all the conditions in the intake after the throttle are AS THEY WERE BEFORE.

now if you are at or very near WOT and are accelerating or going top speed, if the ram works you may see something. but we are talking fe driving.
