Setting TPS High Worth It Or Not?

Just wondered if setting the tps to a higher voltage than normal really makes any difference or not. I know some guys say raise it as high as you can without setting a code. I checked mine today and it was at 0.68 (which I thought was out of spec) but had never thrown a code but I lowered it back down to where it should be. Does anyone think you can go quicker by adjusting it?

The only thing I can see it doing would be to allow the ECM to see WOT sooner to get you into the enrichment mode.

adjusting the tps higher helps in most cases. at .68 your already fairly high. it also gives higher wot voltage which helps with more fuel. allows it to run with a lower block learn number.
