I can see the logic and the physics behind this mod. First off it's worth actually seeing what your TB opens too. Each TB is different. If it's already pretty close then the hassle/work involded won't be worth the gain IMO.
You can use a multimeter if you don't have anything else and measure the voltage from the TPS. Be carful as it's quite easy to trigger an SES light if you get to carried away with the grinder and fixing it is a pain.
Basically if your bored or strapped for cash do it. If you have money to spend then all the free mods (with exception of TB porting) are all pretty much worthless in terms of HP, ET's and SOTP.
This is of course all IMO
BTW - I did the FRA and bump stop mods. You will notice the throttle pedal should move further after and it felt perhaps a little crisper but mostly at higher speeds. 120-140mph elapse time was certainly better but not by anything dramatic.

When my adapter comes in, I'm going to check my NW90 w/ HP Tuners and see how far it is opening.

I used a volt meter and went from 92% to 98% throttle, and I could tell a little difference. I definitley think it was worth the trouble. I wish someone could post some track times of this mod.
