Maybe Im just being carbby... but I think those who are happy with the 009 are eliminating the flatspot by overcarburating the engine. Run it rich enough and it will accelerate properly but then be too rich over the other 90% of the range. Brian touched on this below without mentioning it specifically... but keep in mind, mixture is critical on T3 engines for longevity, 2.5 qts of oil dilutes remarkably fast if in an engine that runs too rich.
