One thing I like about using the stock spring is that you get less
or no boost at part throttle and lower RPMs which keeps me in closed loop
O2/frequency valve control during certain parts of my commute - saves gas.
Once it goes above 1.1 bar or so, it goes open loop and adds fuel,
totally unnecessary for me when I'm stuck at 60 mph in traffic...

Sounds like you have the spring and computer well matched.
