A note that should put everyones mind at ease concerning this mod.
This is a very simple and mass produced circuit. I would bet anyone lunch that if you were to open several of these and measure the exact position of all the brushes, you would find that none of them are in the same exact position from one circuit to the next. They are quickly produced and bent, then the machine movesthe curcuit to the next phase. hundreds of these are likely made every second. As such there will be a variance in positioning. There is even a chance that some lucky stang out there does not have ANY dead zone on their pedal at all.

Exactly. So if this is true, which I believe it is, there should be no worries about making the mod. Some already come from the factory with the "mod."

Right, it's all about tolerances.
It's like getting a "wednesday" engine that puts out 10 more hp than it's rated just because the tolerances all matched up and things worked better.
Theoretically you could get a pedal that has the brushes lined up exactly at the edge of the gold pad where they belong etc..
The reason Ford made the carbon pad extend so far over the edge of the gold pad is to allow for these tolerances, so the brush could be anywhere on that entire area and still produce the same result.

I give up Tube.
You are the king of the throttle mod.
Everyone jumped on the bandwagon.
All hail the king of mods, TacoTube.
You rock so hard it hurts. Great mod
that no one thought of. And a free mod
at that. Take a bow.
We need more like you on this forum.

Sounds like someone is jealous. The mod sounds too good to be true, but when asked and hammered on, Taco Tube came up with completely reasonable sounding answers. And to top it off, has given proof of the success in a video. Long live the Tube.
