Okay, I think Isee how the throttle works now. That little plastic circle at the end of the black housing carbon strip part AND the end of the whitehousing acts as a hinge (or axis), When you press the pedal, the whole whitehousing slides rotates around that axis thus sliding the brushes across the carbon strips . Correct?

If I'm right about how the throttle works, then the brushes are ALWAYS in contact with the carbon strip. this mod is only changing WHERE the brushes are in contact with the strip. The theory is that somehow if the brushes start above the gold plate instead of a few mm to the right of it, somehow that decreases throttle delay, supposedly because that area of the strip is more "sensitive". But sensitive to what - movement of the brush? Meaning, in that area above the gold plate, it would take less brush movement to illicit the same amount of throttle response than it would elsewhere? I don't get it.The maximumdistance traveled by the brushes across the strip is still the same, just shifted. Seems to me the ECU would just account for this shift and just make the new position it's new "normal". Enlighten me please someone/
