I have the progressive set up to give 1/2 throttle on the 48, before the secondary 97's start to open. This limits them to about 3/4 throttle. But I don't think if will affect street performance and is nicer to drive.
Maybe the owner just can't stand the neck wrenching torque an engine like that is capable of but it seems like a waste to limit it to partial throttle otherwise.
