It's got advantages too. When paired with a sophisticated ECU, it can smooth out the torque curve on a turbocharged car at partial throttle by opening the throttle wider initially to spool up the turbo, then closing it back down as the boost comes up. It also makes cruise control much smoother than any cable-based system. --Ian _______________________________________________ Miatapower mailing list [email protected] http://list.miatapower.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/miatapower
