the GSR manifold, the butterflies are closed at low rpm, to increase flow velocity, sacrificing flow volume, to produce torque. At high RPMs, they open to maximize flow volume.

so theoretically you're looking at losing some low-end torque.

My personal mantra is that Honda hires some pretty smart dudes, and they're not going to do something that increases prodcution costs by that margin unless they have data supporting it.

You could just plug the IAB open with a vacuum cap to have them open all the time.
