I've been thinking about making my own Weber pattern fuel injection bodies.
Research indicates that there is significant air flow and H.P. to be gained from a sliding throttle plate, as most commonly used on motorcycles.
The catch is that throttle response is not linear like a standard butterfly.
I never noticed on any of my bikes, but apparently it can be an issue with cars.
So the plates need a cam mechanism to control opening verse acceleration.
Anyone have the math to figure the ratio for this?
If not, I'm going to need a manometer to experiment with.
