Tighten your throttle cable.

throttle cam (throttle response cam) if they make them for Hondacuras? Not sure, only seen 'em before for the 8v 944s (I am surely showing my global automotive I.Q. with this I am sure).

I believe Weapon R makes those.

I also recomend (with the installation of a new throttle cam) you go ahead and replace the throttle linkage bushings with solid core stiffeners. That should help take out some of the play.


On a side note, how about installing some anti lag compound onto the pedal itself.. less actual "pedal force" will be needed to get it to move all the way to the floor, efficiently.

Turn the car on. That'll help the gas pedal react faster.

Actually, I think Weapon R really might make throttle cams... Phat-S and martini are right on the money.

On the 'rice oriented' show on Speedvision, they featured one such device. They might have a link to it on their show notes somewhere. They were replacing the TB and fuel rail on a 99si if I remember correctly. I'm embarressed for admiting to watching it...

Tighten your throttle cable.
instead of spending money you can just tighten your throttle cable. that will give you exactly what you asked for....

I don't remember who made it but I actually do have a throttle cam on my 944. The stock one is more of a crescent shape and the throttle cable had a habit of looping itself around the cam if you let off the gas too fast. I replaced it with a circular one... works MUCH better.
