Has anyone modified their TB to get more spring tension on the Tb blades? My TB blades dont have enough spring tension on them to close to my liking. It it almost seems like it sticks. The gas pedal feels a lot aofter than my BBk or factory one. TIA

The spring tension on my AS&M is pretty soft too. Its able to be fully dissassembled, so I'm sure its possible to rotate the whole spring one turn, but I have not tried it and do not know if that will in turn make it too firm.

There is also the posibility of adding an external spring to the "throttle arm".

I just recently wound my spring one revolution from were it was on my 58mm AS&M ..... throttle plate seats off great with the greater tension w/ no adverse effects.
