Okay, serously, Venturi Effect. The Venturi effect is the reduction in fluid pressure that results when a fluid flows through a constricted section (or choke) of a pipe. The Venturi effect is named after Giovanni Battista Venturi.

Fluids and gasses, including regular old air, that travel through an appropriately shaped constricted section of pipe experiences a rapid acceleration. The math is complicated, but the effect is simple. Air velocity increases dramatically.

The mod I was referring to involves the gradual and immediate reduction of the air flow from the FireStrike. The result is an exponential change in the performance. I was shocked at how well it performed.
