I was thinking of investigating this. I just didn't have the **** to do it. You're right though. NO amount of tuning could possibly compensate for a physical thing such as this. It's really odd that Ford hasn't revised this.

I think its because everyone with a GT has just accepted it as the way it is.. i don't know if the V6 guys and gals are affected the same way as well. I bet if a big enough stink was raised somthing would get done.

True, true. Just like that front-end thunk.
I'm really thinking I need to try this. Either this weekend or next.

i asked my friend if he had the lag on his v6 tonight. he said he definitely has lag as well.
Ford should put out a TSB or something.

Tube thanks for the pics and write up - definitely great info! If anyone could post a pic of how the brushes look before modifying them I think that would help a lot of us prior to doing this.

People, PLEASE be careful when attempting this mod! The last thing I want to read about is some owner pushing his car through the backside of his garage, or worse.
There is a reason Ford designed them this way, not least of which is safety factor.
Don't get me wrong, I think this is a GREAT mod, and I applaud the OP for having the prowess and finesse to pull it off! Just take great care when performing this mod.

WOW!
I just drove to work.
It's so perfect, so crisp, just like a cable connection. Zero dead space.
I figured out that by doing this, I am also causing the ECU to recalibrate itself. This recailbration, along with the adjustment of the brushes gives for a VERY sensitive throttle.
If I tap the gas pedal with my toe, moving it maybe 1/16", the engine will rev about 50 to 100 rpm. It's extremely sensitive now.
This makes driving a lot easier, as starting off, I can use my toe to modulate the gas pedal while letting the clutch out, while before I was forced to use my entire foot to move the pedal, which made for unsmooth starts.
I can also now heel-toe and double clutch easier, as the throttle doesn't have that huge DEAD space in it now.
If someone wants, I can take a video of me touching the gas pedal very lightly and you can see how sensitive it is now.
Heres a drawing of how to bend the brushes. B is before, A is after.

Why do the f*ck does it come this way? I heard it was suppose to help with the throttle One thing a little off subject but sometimes my throttle surges at take off and I either have to floor it or just change gears. That was before I added the CAI and tune and just for clarification it still does it .
