I imagine Osiris or similar should be able to tune them wide open under accel, but I'm not sure.

My car is tuned, and I can tell you it makes little to no difference how far the throttle bodies are opened in regards to throttle response. It is one reason throttle response is not really "tunable" until some cracks the VVEL. You can't really run the car without the intakes connected because the MAF sensors won't get a signal at that point.
