You are borderline lugging the motor if you go to full throttle at 3k rpm. I never go full throttle below about 4.5k rpm.

Whats the point? You are way below the power band of 4.5 rpm max torque and max hp around 6.5k rpm.

Yes, low end throttle response is the point....every day acceleration on the street is the focus.

Unfortunately we all come up against traffic and will see 3K. 4.5K + I have a dozen angry lions behind me so things are flowing well with my mods.
