Mechanical Throttle Stop Adjustment - Question

Thanks for the input Patric. So, actually the throttle linkage is the stock threaded rod from the bracket on the firewall to the carb linkage. Here's the scoop: For some reason the engine liked the mechanical throttle stop adjusted 5-6 turns out after initial contact with the carb linkage more than it liked FULL THROTTLE! I should have just turned the throttle stop out a few more turns to where it actually would have started slowing the car down as expected. The track was "green" so the consistency was not there until after the 330, and there was some changes in wind during the day..

I think because of my particular/specific engine combo and that I had the secondaries disconnected, and my jetting, etc., the engine may have liked the effective jetting better or the velocity was better or something with this very slight change in the blades. If I double the T-stop turns it will surely slow down, I'm sure!! :-)
