SO... does this mean that the speed estimates for the J-36 can be revised upwards now? Any hints as to what Mach numbers would this intake remain effective to?

The “good news” is that a relatively small number of J-36 will be procured. The bad news is that just a few of them can ensure air dominance in a very large area.
