As rpms build,a simple linkage system driven off the crankshaft gradually closes a but- -'" terfly valve on the sub-chamber. ATA C, our exclusive Automatic Torque A mplijication Chamber, works toimprooe lou: and mid-range torque. The ATA C ff system closes o progressively as rpms build, leaving high-rpm duties to our new expansion chamber, which is desianedfor maximum peak horsepouer. At high rpm,the sub-chamber is completely closed and only our new expansion chamber is in use. It's designed for peak horsepower to complement ATAC.
