The car won't start with just the TPS wired backwards! The throttle blades would be wide open!!!! The TPS is just about fuel, doesn't control the engine rpm. The only time the car would work well is if you were at half way.
Snuf, you need to stop doing drugs and start working on making that car faster.

Would run great @ 50% throttle!
I guess if you inverted the throttle pedel, to the TB, it would work. But I think thats sounds like a dangerous idea. I can see a GF getting in and trying to start it. instsnt 100% throttle. bouncing off the limiter.
