Throttle stop mod?? How do you do the throttle stop mod to achieve WOT and is it worth it? Also I seen that casper elec. is selling some thing that plugs into you TB that speeds up throttle response it is called somethin like a "TPS, TPC or throttle enhancer" it cost like $80.00. Is it worth the $$?? <img border="0" alt="[guns]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_guns.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[Pontiac]" title="" src="graemlins/formula.gif" />

Re: Throttle stop mod?? No.. is the throttle is opening all the way, I don't see a reason to mess with it. I didn't need to do the Throttle stop mod on my 99 SS... the Formula needed a little grinding.
You should check the TPS once you "ground" on it.

Re: Throttle stop mod?? I had the throttle body off my 5.3 for some light porting. The throttle did not open all the way. I bent the steel stop tab and ground down the aluminum stop bump. I also had to grind the aluminum area where the steel tab rest when the throttle closes. After I bent it it wouldn't allow the throttle to close fully. It is easy to see when it is in your hand. I ground down the throttle shaft alittle also. I would say that the throttle blades open another 15 degrees or so. Can't say what the power increase is if any. I bypassed the throttle heater too.
