Removing flapper from primaries..?
Okay kinda random question but would it necessarily be a bad thing if I remove the primaries flapper off my CC Q-JET??Like what would the pros and cons be of that......the reason I am asking this is because a buddy of mine did it to his car and he sees that he got "better throttle response" but I'm not too sure about that.....

An inconsequential increase in primary airflow.

Its called a choke. And when the car is warm the blade stays vertical anyways. So like Aperion said - inconsequential increase.
