automagic max: new and similar VB mod idea!

since the objective of a VB mod is to help the throttle have better response and less lag from ur gas petal to ur engine. personally i have tightened my throttle cable really really tight so it respond faster. in addition with my BOMz CAI, it aid some smoothness in gear changing.

tighten the throttle cable not only help the response in accelerating, it also continue to assit the reponse in the next engaged gear.

therefore i thought tighten the throttle cable is similar to a VB mod.

p.s. don't over-tighten, cuz it mite break!

I suppose that's one way to eat gas at idle and automatically give yourself a lead foot. That's about it. Nuthin for your tranny. I can't wait till you figure out the drop resistor,

The VB is for quciker and firmer shifts and that's all.

if you look at where the cable is, the one in the back(first one is the cruise control) there are 2 nuts that hold it onto a bracket. Loosen the nuts and you can move the cable to tightn them up a bit, then you can re-tighten the nuts back on the bracket. Just dont over tighten them or you can snap the cable like happyricefob mentioned.
