What we are discussing is THROTTLE RESPONSE(I guess by my own definition would be how quickly the butterfly opens, maybe this is where I am mixed up)...
...If the air is hitting the butterfly w/o it being open(lack of throttle response)...no amount of "optimizing" is gonna help...scientific thinking...
If you can't get the butterfly open...you can't take advantage of the "optimized" throttle body...
Look at it like this; Bfore optimizng, a 1mm movement in the butterfly allowed only 1 sq in of air (just an arbitrary number) into the engine. After optimizing, a 1mm movement in the butterfly now allows 1.1 sq in of air (again, just an arbitrary number) into the engine. It allows more air into the engine, quicker. Meaning throttle response quickens.
I know all of this...my point was getting the butterfly open quicker [in order to] allow the air in ...whereby tightening any slack in the actual cable itself could improve upon this action, not the action of airflow, which is a direct [secondary]result of the open butterfly...
Please no more...I was only entertaining myself last night after a few beverages anyway...it ain't no thang. Kinda funny how when you bring a subject up in the form of a debate, how you can get all kinds of answers w/o being told "search"
