I stomp the throttle to WOT off idle.

Big accelerator pumps, lots of initial timing, correct carb selection and so on are needed
to make that possible. High stall converter is helpful.

You should be able to just flat mash it. If it coughs or bogs, then either the carb isn't set up properly, or (more likely) the application is not suitable for a DP, and a VS carb would work better.






If you can't hit WOT off idle, there has been a mistake made somewhere.




Exactly!!!!!!
My annular booster 750 absolutely freaking rocks off idle.
I threw it on a friend's car and he didnt want to give it back.

If it doesnt work that way, you have an issue with the tune.
At least on a more "conservative" cammed streeter. I can see it becoming a little difficult with a huge cam at idle with low vac...but then again maybe not!
