Throttle Body Restrictor Removel
Has anyone removed their throttle body restrictor on their Z? I saw a post where KENZ mentioned it and I had never heard or seen it discussed here. I would like to know where exactly it is?? and what It looks like?

Now that's funny...I don't care who you are.

the throttle body does open up a little more. on my car, i dont have an adjustable screw, but i do have a stopper. when i cut off the stopper, i see it move past the old mark.
i dont have a pic of the exact location, but its right under the front part of the throttle cable cover.
