Along with that sweet mod you would get better results if you added a cyclone intake insert, and make sure you grease the muffler bearings.
That'll add great deal of acceleration.

Laugh and joke all you guys want. I know that it doesn't add any horsepower or torque. But I do think it gets on it a little better now.

Basically the gas pedal is raised higher. If you floor it your gonna break or bend something because it's now beyond its limit.

'Hanks Law': The number of zip ties (increasing) on your throttle linkage is inversely proportional to the mechanical aptitude (decreasing) you possess.

I think he's just trying to get his post numbers up so he can "legally" start posting zip ties in the "for sale" section.
OP,they are supppose to be useful posts.
This is both funny & stupid.

I can see if you have a FAT floor mat under it. Maybe.. But people are going to flame on this regardless.
Just take the zip ties off and get a bored throttle body.

Thank you everyone for your feedback on this idea. After reading all your comments, I am going to take the zip ties off. I will probably get the TB bored out like a couple of you are suggesting.
