Default T/M question

Does reducing or completely turning off your T/M greatly improve throttle response and ecceleration from the line? Mine seem to be a dog sometimes and doesn't really start to MOVE until around 3000rpms....just curious...thanks

But does that drastically improve acceleration from the line....or will it still start wrapping out around 3000rpms?

Well that is what poses a problem...I love the way it is now...from a 30mph roll or with juice it will RUN...but from the line and no juice it seem like a dog until it gets around those rpms...so I would like to know if cutting it out will improve the acceleration? And all mail oder people say its ok to remove 100% as long as u are not towing anything...but what is considered towing? I have a couple jet ski's I haul around...would that be considered "towing"...because there not that heavy....?
