I know, but those are hard to read and pick through for the info. That's why I condensed it.

And it's still about as effective as putting duct tape over your windshield seals for more downforce. Learn how to drive your car - problem solved.

Tube, thanks for the condensed version!!!

actually the mod is useful. it worked on my friends 07 GT whereas he had a dead space in the pedal i could move with my hand before the car would register any RPM change from idle. My 05 does not suffer from this problem. i did notice however, he has a slightly different pedal assembly than i do

Boy, aren't you just mister chipper?

Watch it or we'll sic Morgan (the chick) on ya. She can put a 'whoopin on you.

I tested mine too and it's dead on (late 06). Two mm max and I get a throttle response.

Does anyone elses car like to have the RPMs go up 100-200 sometimes when you shift? its like i shift (put clutch pedal in) and the rpms go up 100-200 and then come down.

Nope, just Mister Roper, Lord amongst Landlords. The original post regarding this mod had several holes in the story. The resulting posts by the stripe-color aficionados at censored.com were hilarious at first, but soon became annoying ("Made my V6 feel like a GT"). As far as a "dead spot" goes, my car never had it and there was an easier method of accomplishing this mod posted at this website.

Whatever floats your boat. Uh oh, I'm turning into hawgman...

I don't have that problem at all, in fact mine is touchy as hell, almost too damn touchy

So we have yet another troll trying to dispel something that he doesn't understand..

Keep it up roper, everyone likes you more when you have a bad attitude... oh wait, not.

 

[scramblr]

Easy there tube...gotta have thick skin to post stuff around here, but the good thing is there's no pissing matches here. Even though Roper does look like a troll...see his avatar? You got hammered pretty good on some of the other boards too. Who cares? Works for some and not others.

You were right the first time. You should be kissing my ass for bumping your POS thread. BTW, you never did address the holes in your story. Wanna do that here or across the street?

What do you gain from being rude and nonsupporting of me? Do you have some sort of complex?

That's built into the standard tune - emmissions most likely. A custom/mail order tune will get rid of that.

Now back to our regularly scheduled flame war...

Der...what T-bird said. But my Avatar is so much nicer to look at.

An apartment complex, hence the term "Landlord".

LOL, gimme some of that popcorn.
