Should be more or less linear with throttle position, but this WON'T be liniear with RPM under no-load conditions -- you will get 3000 rpm with a small throttle opening in neutral.

Sounds just about right to me. If low speed shifts are too sloppy you can adjust the vac modulator a little, but don't get to enthusiastic with it.
