That's what I've always heard/assumed as well.

plusone.

Worked well on my S13. Not exactly better throttle response but I get the perspective.
As always, nice 400 man.

Edit: Sunuva.
I'm way late. hahaha.

To the guy above^^: Just put it back in place then.

Gas mileage should be the same, its just the way u drive and how well tune your machine. This thread is a basic loose cable out of old age. No different from you bmx bicycle brakes, after awhile there is a play of the cable because of stretching here and there. once your maxed out of adjust now what? lol. its a good mod though, that's what that adjustment is for.
