From what i have been able to learn here...even through the sarcasm ... is that throttle position(1/8th turn, 1/4 turn, 1/2 turn, WOT) is not relevant or relative to speed or RPM...



Correct

...when measuring performance(HP/Torque)BUT how well the fuel to air mixture happens in the carb. Basically what you are looking at is the ability to consistently generate the proper mixture so you can take advantage of it at any speed or rpm... I think that's it anyway



Yes, but why (or rather, how) is the question. Measuring the throttle position allow you to target the specific components of the carburator system. The carbs deliver fuel through a series of point. Closed throttle to about 1/4 throttle is mostly the pilot system, 1/4 to 1/2 is mostly the needle jet, 1/4 to 3/4 is the jet needle, 3/4 to WOT is the main jet.



The reason for using throttle position is to isolate the individual parts of the fuel delivery circuit for tuning to maximum efficiency.
