Default How to modify a 944 throttle cam...

One of the local Guru's from the PCA has an incredible how-to page about modifying the stock throttle cam to increase throttle response.
Heres the link...

Give it a few weeks. We are finishing up a small batch of some real ones just for Rennlist. Should be around $12 - $15.

No kidding, I'm so in. I'd even pay right now.

edit: In fact, I'll buy 2. One for a friend that would like it.

I guess my question is whats the benefit of one that you might make over this? As is written in the instructions, the modified one allows the cam to b returned to stock in about 5 minutes.
Im not sure exactly WHY someone would return it to stick, but at least its an option.
PS: Im not trying to jack your idea, just asking for your opinion...
Thank you,
Terry

Why not just step on the pedal harder?

Hehe. A brick works for those "bad solder connections" on the cruise control module too.

the dual profile would be nice towhere you could switch it to stock for snow/ice driving, where you want softer throttle engagement. I sometimes start the car in 2nd on snow just to keep from breaking loose.
