My friend has one of those on his '97 lude, and personally, I don't like the throttle response, and yes it does put waaaaaay too much stress on the throttle cable, and on top of that, it is hard to push the accelerator pedal, and sometimes the throttle gets stuck. IMO its a waste of money!1991 Honda Accord Ex

I see a whole bunch of theorizing and "my friend" stories about it...
how about a firsthand impression...
I have one and I like it... basically it increases the diameter of the throttle rotor so that you open the butterfly more with less pedal movement... in effect you reach WOT with less pedal travel...ut does take a bit of getting used to at first but it's a good little mod IMO...
If you have a crudded up TB butterfly it will cause a sticky throttle... but that's more of an issue with the TB and not the rotor... just making an existing problem more noticeable...
So if you put one on your old stock TB make sure it's clean...
Tightening the throttle cable does not have the same effect at all... and I've been running with mine on for years now and there are no issues with the throttle cable at all...
I'd buy one again in a heartbeat... it isn't a real performance mod but it is a driveability type mod that makes it more enjoyable to drive...
Theorize all you want... and feel free to include friend of a friend stories to "back it up"...
but try one for a week or so and then post what you think...RIP Lifsatrip7

hey guys i dont think 'throttle response time' is solely dedicated to how fast your tb valve can open, its probably the last.
