I haven't raced enough to tell the difference but I feel more like a racer when I mash the pedal on the last yellow...I mean green light...

Kind of how I used to think about it as well Dale, but according to those in the know the engine does not care about that pump shot because of the airflow with all the butterflies WOT. I see them leave fine so it must have merit. -
