You are correct. The cable throttle illustration is not correct as per the numbers on the graph.

C6 of Year Finalist (performance mods) 2019
I think most if not all throttle linkages have a ratio. Maybe a Model T doesn't. Throttles all turn 90 degrees, but the gas pedal moves in a linear fashion. Thus there is a linkage ratio.Anyway, misleading or not, I wish my C6 pedal had more action near the top of the pedal...you have to push the pedal too far to get a rev which makes heel and toe downshifting difficult.
However, your C6 has only a single shaft and single plate which means it's like a really really huge single barrel carb. You don't need to move that plate very far to let a lot of air pass by. It's been a long time and my math skills have faded, but you can calculate the amount of free area for each degree of shaft rotation and it's not a straight line 1 to 1 ratio.
I didn't mean to hijack the thread, but do want the OP to understand what will and what won't produce additional power.
No other carb has that sweet sound.

Had the cow booster a year. It's awesome,
Everyone loves the COW booster who has one so go for that. Then consider air intake and a mgw shifter if you drive a manual.
Get a tune especially if you have a Automatic.
Save your money after that and if you want more? Get a supercharger.
Lots of guys dig rear gears too. But not sure the rear gears work well with Supercharger
Good luck and know the COW booster rocks. Those without may say why the COW booster is worthless but all those who have it love it.
Base decisions with actual booster experience. IMO

Take it easy, I never said the Cow Booster was worthless, and it's obvious lots of guys like it. Nothing wrong with that.
All I said was it does not produce any increase in horsepower or torque @ WOT. If it does, please show some evidence. "it's awesome!" and "everyone loves it!" don't count.
