True enough. Those manifolds are made for street use and top end flow is
reduced to maintain drivability. There is a program for determining runner cross
section that indicates a rather large runner diameter for the rotary to move
the torque peak closer to the HP peak. The 4 rotor is the proof of the pudding.
The seemingly overly large runners actually work quite well.
