it just gets rid of the slack in your throttle cable

[Mach Stang]

ah ok thanks

Don't let the title of that page fool you. It works for 99-04 models. I think they wrote it when only the 99-00 models were available and don't think they ever bothered to update the page.

Worth it. Not even $5...

you'll feel it yeah...for about a month until your used to it...then you won't notice it so much...but the slack will be gone at least...really helped get my R/T down at the track believe it or not..i didn't have to think about having lag in the pedal when i floor it

i still havent done this mod. I went into a local hardware store and asked where the nylon tubing was and they had no clue. God i hate some stores around where i live.

just ask for a 1" spacer man...they are at Ace Hardware with the nails and screws...you can pick up one for around 50cents...that's what i used

Also, take a look at your gas pedal before you do it. My gas pedal is a bit worn so it sits with no slack in the throttle cable. If I did this it would just raise my gas pedal up some.

Will this cause the throttle to engage without pushing on the pedal?

no. it simply takes up slack in the throttle cable. Thus reducing lag time when you go hit the gas.

There is no lag time between hitting the pedal and moving the throttle blade.... The ONLY thing that the "pedal mod" does is raise the gas pedal.

due to slack there is a small amount of lag...raising the pedal takes up the slack and poof...lags gone...personal experience here

[v6kid]

In the experience with my car I tested it with and without the mod. I experienced no difference between how much the throttle blade moved when the pedal was moved 3/4".

next time use a full 1" spacer...i can see where you wouldn't notice anything since you didn't remove all of the slack

[v6kid]

No, not a 1/2" spacer. I meant I moved the throttle 3/4"...I edited 3/4 in right after the initial post, you are fast.

Like push pedal 3/4", measure throttle blade movement. Then do the mod. With the mod in do the same test... I got the same results both times.
