Re: LT1 Throttle Stop??? I've never seen anyone make something specific however, I'm sure you could make one of Dedenbears linkage style stops work.

Re: LT1 Throttle Stop??? If you have some ingenuity and a little bit of fabrication skill, you can make one of the linkage style stops work. I am going to adapt one to my car sometime, but I just keep finding other things that need to be done first...
Depending on how much under the class index you're running, you may want to just consider a mechanical stop/throttle limiter. Two years ago I bracket raced all season long in the "Sportsman" class which has an ET break of 12.00. I used a mechanical stop on my throttle body to slow my car down from ~11.2's down to 12.1's. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: LT1 Throttle Stop??? No pics, but it was a very simple thing...
I have a hole drilled and tapped in the "bump-stop" section of the throttle body. I run a 3/16" bolt in from the backside and secure it with a jam nut on the front side. Depending on how far the bolt is threaded in, I can limit the throttle travel anywhere from a little to a lot. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: LT1 Throttle Stop??? Back in the "old days" my car was still using closed loop. I never had any issues.
Think about it for a second... Can't you drive your car around @ 1/2 throttle without anything bad happening? The only issue may be tranny line pressure, but I had a TH350 at the time, so it wasn't an issue. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
