Default TB spring tention???

Is it important to have high TB spring tension a FI engine?? I just bought a 75mm Accufab TB and the spring tension doesnt seem high at all and was wondering what if anything i can do? Can Accufab send me a higher spring or will i have to return it?Does anybody run this TB on there FI ride???Thanks guysIm just confused why accufab would run such a weak return spring on such a nice TB?

A higher tension return spring would serve no purpose. FI does not blow the throttle blades open any more than engine vacuum sucks them open. Any pressure pushing half the throttle one way pushes the other half the other way for a zero net effect.
