On this point: I remember hearing about this in the past, but I don't think stock ECU actually operates in this manner. I've never run my car with the intakes off to visually verify, but when monitoring throttle position sensors (which means the actual throttle plates on our car, not the accel pedal) via Torque or Cipher, it seems they do progressively open just like the throttle plates of any other car. I imagine Osiris or similar should be able to tune them wide open under accel, but I'm not sure.
