Now the 4 bbl Throttle Body on a GEN III has progressive linkage, and the secondaries are only open scant thousanths of an inch not to be confused with a meter, and the primaries are open 70% out of 100% It is the TB off the stock eliminator GEN III motor. I would suspect a Throttle Body which was oblong, or round as opposed to 4bbl configuration would lose less.

Pretty much in line with what I have seen on my dyno, Jeff. With any throttle body I have tested 10%, 15% less throttle angle does not cause the huge power losses everybody wants to think.
