Default Gas Pedal mod question

so i took the slack of whatever out of the gas pedal and i was wondering what exactly that did. did it just allow it to go to full throttle or what?

gaurentees that you are really at WOT when you floor it. More importantly, makes it possible to heel-toe.

mine has slack in it, and i had ford run a diagnostic on it and they said that im getting perfect 100% throttle. so im not sure what the "mod" realy does, unless you have a serious problem.

yea most cars will, but some carpets are thicker than others, which may interfier with WOT. I know i get WOT when i floor it because i have a WOT switch and well... it works lol. but its mostly so that you can heel-toe the car, which is pretty much impossible with the stock setup.

i can't comment for the manual cars...but with my V6 Auto...the difference between the heights with the brake and gas pedals is really distracting...mine has about one inch of slack and i swear the brake pedal is higher than normal because i feel like i have to move my foot back like 4 inches to hit the brakes...it is really annoying

I thought I had a problem with that too on my 97 because there is a great deal of slack. So I hooked my car up to a scanner and floored it, and it said 100% TPS signal
