What you mean by throtle? The only way to get more of it is modifying it and installing smaller pulleys. IF there were a throttle you will have a lot of people burning engines all over the place

Re: GTP Super C. throttle control?

I think the Series 3 3800 engines uses an electronically controlled throttle body. Which means, using an electrical signal instead of a throttle spring with wire. But I still don't understand what he is asking? Are you wondering if the throttle body never fully opens or something from the factory? I've never heard that...

someone on a site (I need to find it) said that there is an electric connection to the supercharger that "turns down" the max. boost from the super charger. Kind of like a governor on the supercharger.
