I had one but couldn't use it on my car, I gave it to this guy in my club

But it does increase throttle response..its basically like tightening the throttle cable (which is what I had to do) so with a much lighter tap on the gas, you get way better response..some people think I really mash the gas when I leave from a stop

Go under your hood and tighten your throttle cable.

yeah really, just tighten the throttle cable, unless you want that extra underhood dressup item that doesn't even help for that much money.

$25 for new ones? If so send me an email.

I remember these back when i was looking at porsche 944s. I heard good things about them on porsches. It appartent increases pedal travel by wall of gears ratios. The porblem with simply tightenng the cable, is in order to get it that tight the throttle wont close fully at idle... then you idle at like 1500rpm. Trust me I ahve done this before. It is really anoying and kills your gas.
