I remember when we all discussed this way back then.
All it does it basically higher your idle speed a little bit.
You'll risk losing a slight bit of gas mileage.
And if you do try this make sure to mark where the bolt is with the nut just in case you want to change it back to factory specs.

I tell you what...I did it and I would never go back. I hated the delay in the cable ever since I got the car. Now it feels right. My idle hasn't changed at all, you just have to adjust it right.

I adjusted mine. Im not gonna say it gained anything, because it didnt, but i like how the accelerator doesn't have a lot of play in it anymore. I like things tight
