for the individual TB setup i guess you will gain loads of high end HP on the expence of low end torque i.e. this is a racing engine setup and it will suck on a daily use car.

MM, i never think an INTAKE woule affect on the torque by minus, if it may effect then it would increase, not decrease...its not a header which may effect by minus if u didnt have enough back pressure.

and MM, i am trying to convert this car into a racing car, but in steps and in YEARS lol, so maybe after a year or two or maybe three, this car will hide in some place and appear again after couple of months in her new look and power :) this is not ever before a year or two anyways

i used to think that too but in some old article in here it was mentioned that a bit of ristriction in the intake is good for low end torque... i still don't understand that concept but it seems correct... you can see a good example if you compare the HP and torque numbers of the 1.6 SOHC and 1.6 DOHC engines of the oper corsa and astra... it is also well known that 8 valve engines produce more torque than 16 valve ones.
