No Dave - has nothing to do with throttle response. "Throttling loss" is the engineering term for energy consumed pushing compression air into, then combustion products back out thru the energy cell orifice. It affects only the engine's fuel efficiency (fuel economy) - not power/torque developed. A properly designed energy cell can actually INCREASE engine torque within a certain RPM range by spreading combustion pressure buildup over more of the piston downstroke....exactly as you have observed. Gotta remember when energy cell diesel chambers were in fashion, diesel fuel ran 10 - 15 cents/gallon. Engine fuel economy was not the priority it is today!
