Then when the rise in rpm came it was similar to the overcoming of a large obstacle followed by a feeling of too much effort has been applied.
Now it feels more linear. As my shoe hits the pedal the rpm is already on the rise and as my foot is overcoming the return spring pressure its almost like a softer feeling. Like less foot effort is getting more results compared to before.

Ive always had a problem with trying to keep it sideways while going through a turn. The pedal always felt like a hard to control balance of throttle to keep the tires spinning. Hopefully this helps with that.

Thanks, this makes sense as this TB appears to have more of a taper that helps airflow to be more gradual off idle.

I have a Soler TB that also has pre-cut notches to allow more air through at all times, which helps, but that change also comes with a large reduction in off-throttle engine braking near idle. The car basically coasts much-much longer in low gears at close to idle before finally dropping back to the normal, slow no-pedal creep (mine's an auto), which isn't ideal. I'm wondering if you'll see any of that with the Mamo, and if yes, how you'll tune around it
