Glad you shot and aired this technical debate in your mind and explained it. Most of us armchair mechanics think have of the acronyms automakers use are just made up marketing BS. This T-VIS discussion explained the actual physics of what is going on in the intake system and how it affects torque and horsepower. Would have never derived that on my own. There ARE people working at these makers that know what they're doing. And at least a few working on their own who also know what they're doing. (YOU).

I have the 1989 GTS celica with the 3SGE NA engine - and yes could not imagine deleting the T-VIS system. The intake valves are the same size as the 3SGTE cousin. They are BIG. A delete would cause big problems with stagnation of flow. Street car - so prefer much grunty low end torque just like Sarah says..straightline dragsters and racers I could understand with hight revving high horsepower gargantuaness..

Low end torque is what makes a street car fun. It is the reason big displacement engines were so popular in the past. High rpm torque is great if the vast majority of your driving is at or near redline. High rpm also wears out engines quicker.

I know lots of gearheads are anti-electric, but I have owned a Miata, a 350Z, a 370Z and a bunch of other cars, but no ICE gives you the instant torque/throttle response of an electric. I don't think much of electrics as a care to take a trip in, but they are great around town, which is the only place the Mini gets used.
