Re: What benefit does that provide? I'm mechanically challenged, sorry.
it makes the wheel a little more aerodynamic so it spools quicker. but it will still reach maximum boost, just quicker

You do lose some top end by clipping, but it's a good trade for spool time
But it depends what the car is mainly used for..
AUTOX or tight course the quicker spool is probably warranted
Drag racing, you control where the car is in the RPM's, so clipping might hurt a bit in the 1/4
Oh and day to day driving clipping is probably a bit nicer for those passing situations.
Just my $02 on this matter
