I finally got the TPS adjusted

First I want to thank ICULOKN, CornerCarver, + Whitestx for teaching me how to read a meter, and helping me in getting the correct meter AND ADJUSTMENT.
Adjusting the TPS

At start mine was way off, it was .50 instead of .98 or .99.

I couldn't adjust it past .95 so I took the TPS off.

I drilled the holes out to give me more adjustment, it's only plastic that was a piece of cake.

The Picture explains it all. "NOW IT'S CORRECT" .980

They truly don't give you much of an adjustment without boring those holes out a bit ???

THANKS AGAIN FOR EVERYONES HELP

Rob, any gains to be had, if you still have a stock TB?

Could they come "outta-wack" from Ford on some L's?

I'm told we only have to adjust it "IF" we have a single blade Throttle Body. I put an Accu-Fab on last weekend.
The bolts are a weird size allan head and are already stripped so my guess is YES I should check it from time to time.

I plan on doing that in the next couple of days. Stock TB, but... might as well check on it!
