Katech on Speedvision (2001) - C5-R program development

Here is a video you guys will like. It explains the development of the C5-R program. It's a little old, but the technology carries over to the C6.R program.

Very cool, wish I could save it..

Could you expand on the "intake air going sonic" point? Very interesting to me (and others I suspect).

Great info. Hard to believe that frictional losses are that high, Wow.

Evidently, when the intake air goes sonic, any ram tuning effect goes away.

Right click - save as on the first link.

In layman's terms - When a restrictor goes sonic that means it has reached its maximum airflow capability. The engine cannot pull any more air through no matter how hard it tries.
