How's the car running? Any more back alley testing?
I was wondering if you are experiencing super lite pedal feel with that throttle body. I sat in the sar today, and was pretending I was driving. (Hey, don't laugh, it has been almost 2 years since the car has been on the ground.) Anyway, I am concerned about how lite the return spring on this throttle body is, (I believe you have the same thing as me, 90mm Accufab). Have you added another spring anywhere in the system, or do you have plans to? Mabe i am worried over nothing, but it seems very lite to me. Thanks for any input. Don B.

It is VERY light. Ive actually had hanging throttle problems but Im not sure if it was that or something in the programming to be honest.
We talked about sticking a spring on it to help return because like you said, it just does not seem strong.
My hanging could be a result of how we did my throttle bracket but I tend to think no. Im going to stick a spring on it anyway because a spring will still cure any sticking problems I have, if they infact exist.
Car is running fine sitting in the garage. For a change. I had a problem with it fouling plugs and not wanting to run. I have a decent tune, albeit VERY RICH one in it now and Im going to leave it as it is because it isnt stalling and I will bear the watery eyes for the car to go down the track good right now. LOL
Going Wednesday (i hope) to see what she will do. Going to try a few 1/8 mile blasts first to see how it reacts and then if it feels good see what it'll do out the back door.

Thanks for the quick reply!! That is a bit of relief knowing that it is not the way i have mine setup, but actually just a lite spring on the t/b. I think I am actually going to setup a return spring on the pedal itself rather than trying to modify the throttle body. I climbed under the dash a couple of minutes ago, and it looks like it may be feasable. Again, thanks for the reply, and if you come up with something please share
BTW, can you take a pic of your cable holder, it would be interesting to see if we came up with the same thing.
