I don't think the SRV engages until the engine hits 5000 rpms... which I never do unless by accident.

Also, I believe there was a post in the past from someone who had removed the SRV and polished it. I tried finding it but couldn't.

What does a Short Runner Valve do?

Inside the manifold there are two paths the fuel/air mixture can take. One is the long way, around the outer edge and down the individual runners to the intake valves. The other is a more direct route straight down the center of the manifold to the valves. Inside the manifold there are butterflies the same as on the throttle body or a carburetor. During a Wide Open Throttle condition the SRV turns and opens the butterflies so the fuel/air mixture can take the short route.

In the old days of carburetors you had short runner manifolds such as "Torkers" and long runner manifolds, typically dual plane manifolds. Each had it's benefits for a certain rpm range of the engine. The Prowler manifold is like have both of these at your disposal when the need arises.
