If you race one like that, with a couple of key strokes you can limit how far it opens.
Electronic throttle stop. Set it to whatever % opening you want to slow it down to work the AHFS.

Maybe part of the factory race car package should be a real gas pedal with a cable to the throttle body. Considering they are deleting the IRS and installing Powerglides, this part should be easy.

All COPO's and CRC cars are cable driven Throttle bodies.

No DBW!

Our stuff got cables. We have broke several cables (as probably most of us have), and according to my shop folks, we seldom replace a DBW module. NHRA has allowed all the new cars to replace throttle bodies that are DBW only with a same size cable operated TB. My 74000 lb, 1650 Torque, large bore motor home has DBW, Traction Control, & all the other goodies. Go Figure.

Interesting Jeff,
It is the swaged end coming off the cable or is it on the equipment end?
Have pulled thru a few plastic attaching parts.

(Do you slam the pedal to the metal often on the motor home?:-)

Bobby, it is the part under the hood, whichever that may be. Broke both the V8 and V10 cables.
