Message	Between making the TB spring stiffer because it had to wrap around an additional time (making the throttle pedal require more effort), and the extremely responsive nature of the "tip-in" portion of the throttle, I wouldn't say it "sucks to drive". Responsive, or takes a second to get used to, sure. The difference in size is very obvious from looking at them. The stock TBs look quite pathetic in comparison. I wouldn't trade back to stock for anything, and I doubt many that have done it would either. Worth it to you--I don't know. Worth it to me, YES. What size are the TBs on the GT-R?
