Should be able to beat those kids with the buzzing mufflers at only 38% throttle.

Thanks guys for helping me figure this out!!!
I'm glad it worked out for ya! It's easy to adjust but not many people know about it. The only thing that stinks is that non traction controlled vehicles do not have this adjustment for their cables.

Well technically speaking we (Non TCS cars) can't adjust the cable, but you can "adjust" the hold down bracket to tweek the WOT TPS reading.

^Yeah, thats a little ghetto though. I made an adjustable cable bracket for my TA since it doesn't have traction control like my Z28. On the throttle cable bracket instead of two holes for the bolts I made elongated slots so that you can loosen the bolts and slide the bracket back and forth then retighten the bolts and your good.
