FW: Throttle Butterfly valve ramp

[JShadzi at aol.com]

Jim, is there any provision in the throttle cam to provide a progressive opening, such as an ellipse or similar?  Each TB is designed for its application, even my VR6 TB with ramp could be considered jumpy, especially by stock standards, when you put such a big TB on a small displacement car, its always going to be an issue, usually why the factory chooses on the smaller side if they have the chance.

But of course, jumpiness comes with the territory when you're building a high perormance, well breathing motor with really fast response, just like everything else.  If you want a nice, smooth, stock, progressive response, throw some intake restrictions and exh. back pressure in there, they'll smooth things right out  ;)
