KY, why didn't you use one of the electronic controllers that tap into the tps sensor?
COST! Those damn things are at least $75 and this will do the same thing for nothing.

I'm sure there is more than enough tools, spare parts and manpower around to get you back home. And plenty of garage space between Maryland and Virginia...

Hey, worked for me. If I have any recurring issues with the switch the TPS will go on.... as much as I hate wiring stuff anymore.

Thanks, I usually don't even head to the track this time of year. It just pisses me off, it fills like and its all heat related. Had to try it out with the factory stall, new exhaust and gas. Plus it was a good time meeting up with the guys from the local forum although most of them drive cars.

Well its not the little things I'm worried about. Thinking if anything goes its gonna be big. Like engine, tranny or driveshaft. Wonder what a 600 mile tow bill would be?

I was thinking the same thing while my truck was on the dyno in Chatsworth, CA. We were going to put a few more degrees yiming in it, but with a 2200mile drive home, and only 90 octane gas in Oklahoma, I said "Thanks, but no thanks". I took my drag radfials with me to Calif. Speedway track day, but was chicken to put tham on, for fear of nursing drivetrain problems all the way home. But.....600 miles....no problem!

Yeah, I mean I drive it all the time. Take it to the track, run the hell out of it, no problems but put 600 miles between you and home.... makes you consider things.
