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?
You wont be able to get the same low end drivability that you had with the VP, but you wont have to worry about a death code again.... pretty good trade off IMO
