Just from amount of work it took on my car to get rid of any neck downs between the TB and the inlet to the rotors.
I have no technical data and could be wrong but I would safely assume the blower is tapped out at the power levels a 110mm would be needed for.

Actually you could. However it would take a very well designed and long bellmouth to accelerate the air to supersonic speeds to make it work. It's how race cars do it when they have to run restrictors.
So for the corvette you could run a larger throttle body and then Neck it down to say 102mm with the bell mouth right at the blower intake. You would then Need to slowly open the exit so as not to get turbulent airflow to take full advantage.
So in practice your right.

You can't! But what I'm getting at is you can get more air through a set sized whole by increasing the airspeed using a bell mouth. Not saying it could be done on a corvette but it's used on about every race car that uses a restrictor.

Yea I need to pull that out aswell ^ but I was refering to shrouding around the synergy intake. Trimmed my stock shroud out for the radiator and picked up almost a lb of boost. With the intake and pulley set up and trimmed out shroud it touches 20 lbs now.
