If you don't like the idea, then don't do it. Like I said, with my experiences it works good and throttle response is increased. I have done this trick on many different cars with both OBD-II and OBD-I as you call it and they have all had the same effect.
I do NOT want to argue about it, like I said, I asked a question... didn't think someone would actually be upset for a question. I never made ANY claims of significant power increases or anything, so don't ask me to show documented proof because nothing you have said so far can be proved either. It's too bad that your magazine article and articles that I have read and personal experience varies so much. It isn't like I am suggesting something that has never been done before, this little trick is used ALL OF THE TIME, and still is on current cars.
Like another person in this post said... they noticed it right away and it felt great... that's all. What about that do you not believe? On the OBD-II cars that I have done this on, it has NEVER gone back and been "tuned out" back to normal because no matter what you think... and depending on your "long term results", I did this trick on a Land Rover Discovery Series II over a year ago and it still feels the same... in fact about 6 months after we did the trick, we put it back to stock spec to see if it was noticeable and sure enough, it was. We put it right back and it was just how it had been for the last 6 months and still is over a year. His OBD-II never did anything to counter it... it CAN'T, just as the rest of the cars containing OBD-II and OBD-I.
The TPS is the ONLY sensor that tells the computer how much you are depressing the throttle body, so there would be no other sensor to counter this.
If you don't like the idea of this, then just don't do it... don't discourage it... it's 100% reversible, and if it doesn't do anything, you can put it right back where it was to begin with.
I don't understand how or why you ever took this personally and got so defensive about it, but that's your prerogative... a simple question to end up in an argument?... I hate to have to return the attitude and argument as it has been put on me, so I am sorry for this post taking a turn... the info is here... if you want to try it, then go for it, if not, then don't... you can always put it back to normal anyway.
