Throttle Plates... 15% open

Hey guys, I've got a question. The throttle plates on my throttle body seem to be having a problem, they only look they're open about 15-20%. I know how to fix this, I need tighten up the accelerator cable. I was just wondering how much of a difference I will get form being able to actually get my throttle open full now??

HAH! That's funny (sad, but funny). I think it's safe to say that you will feel quite a bit of difference.

which plates are you looking at? if you looking at the first 2 on top while the motor is cold, the thermowax should be preventing them from opening all the way. try checking it out when it is warmed up.
