Not pooing the idea just asking questions.
The first part of this post has been proven about the importance and effect of turbulence and atomizing the fuel/air mixture. Yes the edge of the throttle butterfly is beveled to, I believe, obtain as close to possible a complete seal of the carb. throat to adjust for an ideal engine idle. I too am interested to hear if there is a noticed in the seat of the pants improvement in acceleration. Good thread...thanks for putting this one up here.
