It still has ergonomic benefit to many. The throttle body stop prevents the butterfly from opening too far. I really don't see an issue with stretching a cable. It's not a piece of twine.

Close.The increased flow comes from the advantage of the increased pressure differential. The different shape and taller design of the aftermarket plenums allows for a better chance of laminar airflow down into the lower intake manifold. At WOT, the absolute pressure inside the lower intake manifold is very close to the atmosphere absolute pressure. The closer you can get to a perfect laminar flow through the TB/plenum, the greater amount of air that can be drawn in to the lower intake manfold.
Not quiteI did this mod some 85,000 miles ago with no problems. The pedal is in a better position for me and that's all that matters I think most of what this guy has spewed is BS ..... if he's so damn smart he should have the fastest car on earth
That's for dumbasses with fat feet and ambulance chasing lawyers.All cars out there have the gas pedal much lower than the brake pedal. It's an industry standard now and has been for quite some time. Years back the NHTSA conducted a study...they found that there were an unacceptable amount of accidents with people accidentally hitting the brake while attempting to press the gas.
This mod bettered my vehicle. I adjust my mirrors. I adjust my seat height. I adjust my seat position. And so on. There's nothing wrong with adjusting the pedals to better suit the driver. It's all about ergonomics.Leave the gas pedal alone....it works perfectly fine. Put forward your ingenuity, time and effort into something that will actually increase performance or better your vehicle.

I can't believe we're arguing the validity of this mod. :shaking head:
not only is my throttle blade flat, but i carefully ground it on the leading and trailing edges on the non-sealing surfaces. i rounded the leading and knife edged the trailing.
immediately after the throttle blade i opened up the throttle body to the dimensions of the plenum i also ported. i cut them until they were pretty thin. you can cut yourself on the trailing edge. i profiled the shaft a little also.

So much whining in this thread. Dang...
Lay it out! This mod = 0 gains in the HP feel. It's a total ergonomic enhancement and costs like $5 to do. How about all those clutch pedal adjustment mods? They can run you $100 and do no "performance" (meaning HP) gains but SO many people do it.
Keep flaming and whining everyone lol
The argument that "engineers" designed it that way, is not a very good one. I'm pretty sure "engineers" designed our seat belts too, and I'd personally like to kick their ass for that one.
