Is it possible that with a larger impeller and a smaller inlet we could get the best of both worlds with more boost and torque down low without "over" boosting up top?

I am asking as a prospective customer of one of the rotrex kits, not as a fanboi of one of the other options.
Yes, you can via restrictor, but it has not been engineered in this application, since it's not necessary, and the Rotrex is already being spun up to about 90% capacity.
