So it seems to be running pretty well but I am still wondering about the low end.

I never ran this engine while it was stock so I have nothing to compare it to.

The vp/24v was able to pretty much idle off in 2nd gear, with a strong start from a stop.

Should this 12v be able to do the same? It seems to 'fall under itself' while taking off in 2nd, with a good amount of throttle to get it going, and from ~1/4-3/8 throttle and up it takes off strong. If I lay into it harder it does fuel. ( good puff of smoke)

I'm wondering if I need to tweak the gov springs, I used a TST kit and the stud protrusion was in spec. Has anyone ran into this before?
