Slow throttle dropoff when upshifting

As I understand it, the throttle float is programmed in for emissions purposes. I guess it's slightly less polluting if the motor hangs there for a second rather than drop/regain

As I understand it, the throttle float is programmed in for emissions purposes. I guess it's slightly less polluting if the motor hangs there for a second rather than drop/regain rpm. Some brands/models have it worse than others, but most newer cars have at least some throttle float. I guess a competent tuner can adjust it out, but I don't know for sure.
