The less you feel it the better, because it means your torque curve is flatter. Crossover may become more audible when you add breather mods and better camshafts, but that's fine. It's more important that it be hard to feel than hard to hear. And it's not bad if it's easy to feel, it just means you aren't making as much power somewhere in your powerband as you could be.
