. Another bit I overheard at OSH was that the F1(auto

racing) setups have two complete sets of injectors, one at the ports and

one

way upstream. If the driver stabs the throttle, the computer fires the

port

injectors until the engine catches up and then switches to the upper set

for

peak power and economy.

One set above the blower, and another set at the ports. (constant flow)

Fast throttle response is not really needed in an AC. If I shove the throttle
in on my 182 it is likely to stumble as well. We were taught in pilot training
to feed it in slowly. Akro is another matter. For a cross country
airplane the throttle is left in position for 99% of the flight time.
Fuel burn on ther other hand at 10 GPH or $20 per hour is important.
