To anyone who's done this before:
Notice on the butterfly how the one side is curved upward when the throttle is closed, and the underside is bowl-shaped. Anyone ever mess with this plate?
I'm thinking if I epoxy in that bowl-shaped area and grind away on the top of that butterfly to flatten it, it'll open things up a little more and give me some more oomph on the top end, because the butterfly would be thinner in profile at wide-open throttle.
Any thoughts? I'm using a spare stock TB, so if I royally screw up my ZX5 won't be sidelined.
