Pulls Harder
Does anyone else's car seem to pull harder at 3/4 or just over than it does at WOT?

Wonderfully Awful Idea

Makes total sense. Look at most Dyno sheets at where the torq curve meets the Hp curve. It's about the same place as where you're describing on the throttle.

MY LS3 feels like a kick in the face from start to finish
I must say I do notice a nice power swell starting around 5K, but yea a good half/three quarter throttle pull in 2nd/3rd getting on the interstate is always a good for a smile |

Idk. I was spinning at 65 in 2nd this afternoon though. The motors are crazy at high RPMs

With respect, that makes no sense. He's talking about throttle position. Literally every single dyno horsepower and torque are numerically equal at 5252 RPM just because that's how the math works out.

Could be an Automatic thing? If you are rolling along at a set speed and go to WOT the car will kick down to the lowest gear it can (not sure if these autos can skip down or like older trannies has to go down in sequence, latest trannies can skip down saving time) which will take a second or 2 then pull in that gear for a second only to shift up one gear. at 3/4 throttle you may be skipping hitting that lowest gear staying one above getting more of the power band and skipping 2 shifts.
