DIY THROTTLE RESPONSE MOD (MUST SEE!) - Page 5

Hmmm reminds me of the 99-04 gas pedal trick.Diden't think it would work for our stangs. Makes me wonder though. You did it for your stock stang right....and everything turned out great. Now one with a brenspeed tune the ecu is tuned and its for the one with the dead pedal. Would it still have the same effect?

Heres a drawing of how to bend the brushes. B is before, A is after.

So you basically take angle out? They're straighter after the mod?

Jeweler's pliers....those things look like you been skinning catfish with them. Anyway, I think we need to rename you. Something like Taco Tube. Nice job.

I'll do it on Sunday

i hated my car just because i hate the Electric Throtle body. This sounds
excellente but i really thing that someone should come with a cable controlled T/B for our cars.

Thanks!!! now i have something to do. It's been some time since i don't do anything to my car

They started out as jewlers pliers... until I got to them!

Yes, essentially you're taking the angle out of the wires so that the tips of them are contacting a point further up on the carbon track. You really can't over do it, as the ECU will recalibrate once you start it for the first time.

Well I have to disagree about what some are saying. After my custom dyno tune my car is so responsive it wants to leap forward instantly when I touch the gas pedal. I have to be more aware in traffic so I don't rear-end a slow poke taking off at a light. I think this might be why Ford set it up the way they did so that people with less driving skill do not get into trouble. I understand your take on the mechanical aspect but in my case the car has become very responsive. It may be that there are variations in every car as these fine adjustments can create wide spread variations in performance.

Could very well be. I know that after Vietnam, our boys came home with a pocket full of money (maybe not a pocket full) and bought Bosses and GT's and Mach's. Many ended up in the ditch dead. Something the Gooks couldn't do. It was determined that they were not used to driving beasts and couldn't handle them.

Can someone post the part # for the pedal assembly? I'd like to mod one out of car and then install it. Great find and thanks for sharing.

Thanks,

WOW... very inventive... and ingenious IMO.... don't know if I'll try it with the supercharger the car is very responsive already!!!

Very nice write-up.

I solved this problem another way. All I did was put a "spacer" on the
gas pedal arm, so when you take your foot off the gas it doesn't release
as far.Really just adjusting the stop postion of the pedal arm.
