Wow, go figure. Bernd didn't have the right answer. And did you happen to
look and see if there was a bearing in the center between the blades?? If
the shaft is dry, it doesn't matter if it's in perfect shape, or not, there
is going to be extra resistance until you apply some sort of lubricant.
Bruce from F&B uses anti-seize because it resists freezing up with nitrous
use as compared to other lubes, and doesn't wear or wash off as easily.

FIXED!
Ok, looks like it was the bushing/bearings after all. I went ahead and
pulled the TB off all the way, and something I noticed is that 1 - it felt
like it was binding/resisting with the butterflies at 1/2 way open (45 deg
angle), and 2 - There was a noticable squeak coming from it when opening the
butterflies, and sounded like it was coming from the bushing/bearing in the
middle. So put some antiseize in there, worked it in, squeak is gone, and
no longer binding at 45 deg angle. The stiffness at near-idle point is so
hard to tell when adjusting by hand, I couldn't tell if it was completely
gone or not, but went ahead and worked some antiseize in on the side
bushing/bearings as well. Put it back on, and all is well.
So, I guess it was doing it while the engine was off too, just hard to
tell. Anyway, thanks for the help!
