That was the general idea. At least for the time being.

I know, but due to changes in head porting, valves, exhaust manifold,
camshaft, compression and swept volume I will have to alter that curve
quite extensively anyhow. The O2 sensor will be my primary guide here.
BTW, the chamber is there already - I'm just considering placing the
throttle ahead of it. Which most probably would alter the vacuum
characteristics, yes.

I mean I have accounted for that. Roughly.
