Okay, I'm having this thought about the cable guide on the the throttle body. What if it had a raduis that wasn't consistent throughout it's range of motion. What if it could open the throttle plate a smaller percentage during the initial application of your big right foot and then as you bury it deeper it would increase the rate of opening?
Sorry if I'm confusing anyone, as I don't necessarily understand it either.
I'm imagining an egg shaped cable guide (on the TB) where the "tip" of the egg will point down, and as you rolled the throttle open, and the radius of the guide changed, the rate at which the throttle plate opened in relation to the pedal being depressed would increase progressively. Or maybe it would decrease, I don't have the best grasp on what I'm actually thinking about. But all of this comes from a TB that I saw that came off of a honda. It got me wondering about maybe a gain in low throttle efficiency for highway cruising and the like. In our cars, there becomes a point in the throttle where the turbo starts to take over anyway, which accelerates the car rapidly even if you don't bury it. I think it would be interesting to use the first, say, 65% of foot travel to control the first 50% of plate travel, and the last 35% to control the last 50%.
Am I making any sense? Any input?
