That seems pretty goofy to me. They going to outlaw a bolt under the gas pedal next................... Seems tech isn't sure what to do with EFI combos so they go strictly by the rulebook.

I was the faster car in NC one year and lost to Mr. Carter heads up. It was a long drive home. And a very quite one at that.

Had one. Popped the end off a throttle cable, since thin carpet with no padding under it, made WOT at the throttle body happen before the pedal hit the floor. Put a stop in for the pedal. Made a shim for the stop by tig welding a flat washer on one end of a short piece of 1" tubing. Glued flat washers inside to stop at 80% throttle angle. Last shim was cut out of magnetic black plastic, to help keep it on. Maybe ratted out again. Was checked for WOT in the staging lanes right away. "Put the pedal to the floor, Ed!" He pushed the Throttle Body WOT from under the hood, when the pedal didn't.
"Don't want to see that again, Ed!".
Do it in the ECM tuning now.
