I'm actually surprised how much of a difference the wheel has made. At low speed, there is no longer any rough-road/leg movement induced bucking. Taking off from a stop is much easier as well. I'm going to look into getting a small run of these made (and possibly a group buy as well). I'll update this thread with any additional news.

Before going any further, I just want to point out that this throttle lever connects directly to the butterfly pivot - it eliminates the factory linkage on the throttle body which is itself an eccentric system. If you still have the stock linkage installed, the improvements using the new lever will be minimal if any. In my car, it replaced the 1:1 lever which I had relocated directly to the butterfly pivot for hood clearance issues.
