[@Thomas63r2]

The zip tie mod has its origins going way back in time to carbureted engines - that one of the first tuning "tricks" was simply to verify that wide open throttle was really 100% open. A surprising number of cars with older rod or cable throttles were poorly adjusted or improperly assembled or had something restricting the accelerator pedal travel. Once fixed it was the closest thing to free horsepower!

I remember I did this to my mustangs 20 years ago lol. I’m old. But it helps so much. What it does it opens the butterfly quicker and I notice on my old 2000 gt that it finally was able to open that butterfly fully open at full throttle.

[@iceman3451]

Zip ties will work, but I used a 3way wire splitter connector that I clamped onto the cable. Works just as good n made it to having absolutely no slack.

[@angelonicassio7131]

I don’t think I understand… are you just removing slack from the cable? Is there any possibility that the cable has stretched over the last 300,000 miles? Is it not adjustable at the throttle?

I'm sorry I just don't still understand how to zip tie this mod. Can you redo a video going more in depth please just confusing for me

[@YipperX5]

I played with this today on my 03. Super worth! But I ended up finding some spare copper ac line, cut a slit and flared one end. I slipped it over after some measuring made sure it was right and crimped it. Permanent, stiff, taught. Took about 5 minutes instead of the 30 seconds but zip ties give and wear too much. It I want to remove my mod though, I need to delicately peel/cut the little copper tube.

It seems that it would be better to put the zip tie behind the plastic piece with the slot. Then the grommet would sit tightly against the slotted hole.

[@brg4594]

Lol get down there and look at the pedal, then pull the pedal opposite the way your foot will push it. You’ll notice slack. Then you’ll see the distance between where it sits and when you’re pulling it. While pulling it or holding the pedal up ( away from the floor ). Slip a few or one big zip tie on there to take away that slack. You’ll notice the pedal sitting up much higher then before. Then test. And enjoy smiles per gallon :)!

*Can you make a video on determining P71/P7B value for selling and buying please?* Looking to sell or trade my 2011 P7B for another 2011 P7B. How can I professionally value my Vic???

The only downsides are aesthetic. Minor rust on wheel wells, dim/not at all showing odometer, hood latch opener not working properly.

[@lilboytravis824]

I just tried this I think I did it correctly. Honestly I think I prefer the normal feel but maybe I’m just not used to it yet. I have a heavy foot while driving and it seems to make it worse as the pedal feels heavier. Could just be me. Anyone else feel the same?

[@39love31]

I own a Sn 95 Mustang GT ...I did all the Mods...Heads, Cam, Intake, Larger Throttle Body and Mass Air. and Headers and 2 1/2 Flow masters... the day i finished up on Putting the Engine back into the bay .... And About 4,000 Miles of a Small Break in Period for the parts .... i was wondering why i felt Like i Lost POWER with the Mods? so i went on a HUNT..lol ... I had My GF at the time to Depress the throttle as i Looked down throttle Body and i Noticed....it was only 3/4 Open?....I asked Her if she had it all the Pedal all the way Down...She Answered "YES" so i gave her a Camera to Take a Pic of the Throttle Body as I Pushed down on it...YEP! i was only 3/4 open ....so i did a Little Trial and error and found a Small Broom Handle about 1/2 inch long and cut it only Half way through and Put it on the end of the Gas Pedal Cable then crimped back together with Zip Ties at the Pedal Grommet.....NOT only did it give a Higher and stiffer Gas Pedal FEEL.... But completely opened the Throttle Body to Near 100% Capacity! that is when i found ALL the Horse Power I was Looking for!!! It has Been about 15 years since i did this Mod and i had forgotten about it...lol ... Until i just seen your Video... it is Hands DOWN the Most USEFUL Up grade you can do! And to test that for yourself. Take off the Zip Tie and Check Throttle Valve Angle With and without the small Mod.. You will be surprised not only did it Stiffen the Pedal and reaction time...But MOVED the Throttle Body Angle to Almost Completely OPEN! Amazing little Mod! Have fun Bro! Be safe! and I really Enjoy your Channel and Updates! ;)

[@ItsPainnz]

youre suppose to like tighen a bolt or screw back there and its fixed i thought

[@Josie.R]

I have a better way to adjust the throttle cable from the throttle body. It adds a throttle cable adjuster to the throttle using only an M6 1.0 at 40 MM long bolt, 3 nuts, and 4 washers (all preferably stainless). Mounted using the hole for the bolt that holds the throttle cable against a bracket that holds it in place. Plus an extra spring for the throttle return.

Why cant this be done on the engine up by the throttle body? Is it not the same? I used this trick 20 years ago on a stretched kick down (shift) cable. Made a huge difference! Cables stretch over time. They are braided wire. It will happen. Good on you to show this.

[@arctic6405]

it can be and i did it because it was easier for me, pull the cable off the throttle body put your zipties on then pull the cable back through the body using the end of the ziptie as the new anchor then ziptie around the anchor spot to keep it from coming out and take the original anchor and ziptie it to the spring return spot just to keep it out of the way
