It's more complicated than that, technically.

Cavitation refers to the phenomenon in which a liquid flow experiences local low pressure such that it changes phase to a gas. In this case, we are already talking about a gas, so there's no possibility for cavitation to occur.

Is TechnoTorque wedge providing the necessary solid feature to maintain low Cg and assist air flow?

That is a good visual of what takes place inside the stock plenum. Adding a small wedge to the center may reduce the pressure zone and improve flow a bit. Testing will confirm this.

To add to what you have shown here remember that intake airflow is not a continuous stream but a pulse or wavelets that vary with RPM. As these wavelets stack up against the TEE they produce resonant standing waves which react a little differently than a continuous stream. In a well tuned intake these standing waves will reinforce intake airflow at desired RPMs. Changing the intake design and resonant frequency will sometimes cause these standing waves to impede intake airflow. As you said, testing is the key.
