[QUOTE="scin, post: 109052, member: 1541"] Be VERY wary about these things... I used to have a Cyclone in my E24 (installed by the previous owner).... One fine, quiet Sunday morning on empty roads, I decided to let fly with the 3.5 underneath my right foot.. I floored it to the redline and there it stayed.... as i rapidly approached the huge intersection, the lights turned red! Thankfully I didn't panic. Shoved it into Neutral and stomped on the brakes. All this time the engine is howling at full revs. Pulled the car over and shut it down. Popped the hood and found the throttle was stuck at full open position.So I gave it a good tap with a screwdriver to dislodge it and was on my way. Went to the mechanic the next day and removed the damn thing.... Didn't feel any difference in power after removing it!!!! [/QUOTE]
