Gee.....how could that possibly happen....

Not that he ever pushes the envelope with the car. When adjusting the throttle cable he might want to factor adrenaline induced floorboard flex.

Looks like their Grip series: http://www.sparcousa.com/ptuning_pedals.asp?id=351

Todd - Are you satisfied with their performance?

I don't recall my foot ever slipping off a pedal in all my miles and racing. I did have two of the rubber pads pop out but they have stayed put every since.

I like to set the throttle so the pedal arm bottoms out on the floor board INSTEAD of putting all the strain of my right foot and adrenaline on the throttle cable and throttle shaft. It's tricky getting it right but I feel it should be more reliable.

tha dash is killer, makes me want to get rid of my covans/ultalite setup really bad.

Wouldn't fabricating an adjustable throttle stop on the floor/firewall pan be possible? Then you'd have throttle shaft and pedal travel adjustments.

I think we'd be surprise with actual telemetry data for psi load on the throttle pedal stop recorded during the heat of battle.

I've thought about that but don't need it. The pedal arm bottoms out on the firewall itself. I wouldn't mind a higher pedal for racing but not for street cruising. My pedal arm is splined for large adjustments and the small adjustments can be made at the throttle bracket housing and connection at the carb.

Just an awesome car overall. That car can go grab some beers on a weekend run and rip up the auto-x on another weekend. Very nice Todd.
