Default TB mod for LSX ussers

Here is the cut I needed to do to get 100% throttle after installing the LSX.It was no big deal and does not affect throttle operation.

Everybody should keep in mind this only affects later models (01+ ?) that have the larger cam on the TB. Mine and my roomates do NOT need to be cut. (99 & 00).

Thanks for the pic as I had been waiting to actually see what I had heard about. My next thought was - Would I have to do it since I have a '99 - and Nic and 383 answered that too! Cool - I am good to go!

I should rephrase that a little... no mod to the TB, but the cable itself did have to be adjusted, it was only opening 90% but NOT because the throttle cam was hitting anything. just had to adjust the linkage. there is a little plastic clip over the cable in about the middle, take it off and adjust so with the gas pedal in the normal position the throttle cam just barely rests on the stop.

hope that makes sense. I'll go take some pics and show you what I mean.
