Glad I saw this post, this looks promising to get that direct throttle cable feel since it seems there are no real ECU developments (that I know of thus far) for the GE8.
I'm an older model car guy and don't like this new tech, wish the damn car had a throttle linked cable.
To be honest though I don't see how adjusting the pedal potentiometer signal can realistically achieve what this product tries to do. The potentiometer would give a real time signal to the ECU, it would then be up to the ECU to interperate the signal and operate the throttle body accordingly.
I'm just guessing btw, but I assume that's the basics of exactly how the stock Honda and any modern electronic throttle system works.
