or you just go under the hood and the steel cable that goes to your throttle body and take out the pin and pull the cable until you have the desired lenght and put the pin back in

just wondering but why are you doing this its not going to do much at all

ha my bad didnt fully read the article, not enough sleep and to long of a day

I just did that i just used a nylon plastic tube as a spacer. And it does help a lil bit, its not like huge but it holds the throttle open more for more air and more air and power and higher rpms that ive noticed. but i have only had that set up for about 4.5 hrs now soo yeah

itschristorres8 · October 2nd, 2007, 11:17 PM

some zip ties and a light

wadepetersen · October 2nd, 2007, 11:32 PM

emgjsdk1 · October 2nd, 2007, 11:57 PM

wadepetersen · October 3rd, 2007, 12:02 AM

tjames · October 3rd, 2007, 12:50 AM

El_Cangri · October 3rd, 2007, 07:50 PM

just do the spacer on the pedal... easier

beside mine has this huge slack but the t/b opens completely...
