Rebuilt my throttle body

So... It took me five hours but I rebuilt the throttle body and replaced the TPS. It feels like the engine "revs more freely" and accelerates better. Seems like I am getting a bit more power with less use of the pedal. Does that make sense or is it cognitive bias in my imagination? What positive results should one expect from these two procedures. Also my idle is now rock solid at about 950 RPM, it used to randomly wander a little bit. When driving if I went to neutral the RPM would drop to 1,000 then to 950 when stopped. Now it goes straight to 950? I didn't even take pictures of the seals I removed. I couldn't. It took an hour or two with a pick to get everything fully out really. It was a goopy disintegrated mess and the o rings came out in micron sized pieces. How frustrating.
