This sounds interesting...
Any steps in particular I should follow?
[I guess I should know what the throttle cable looks like first; out to Google it!]

Wait... now that I am thinking about it, sometimes my truck feels like there is some 'play' on the accelerator... would that take care of it? I have power though, it just feels like the pedal is lacking pressure on it. I hope that makes some sense, I am new on the DIY world of mechanics

Jon,You refered to removing slack from the throttle cable....which end?At the pedal or at the throttle body?Am curious about this mod,may try it myself. Thanks Mike

Its at the pedal kinda, look under your dash and at the gas pedal you will see the I'll call it a hinge where the pedel is held in, above that you see where the pedal extends up toward the dash you will see the cable running through it, then pull the pedal away from the floor and you'll see the slack within your throttle cable and thats where you put pull ties to absorb the slack, you'll be able to tell a slight difference once you do it.

Here's a tip though courtesy of gijoecam of EF :
"The FIRST thing you need to check is whether or not it's needed. To do that, disconnect the the intake tube from the throttle body and have somebody floor the gas pedal. With the gas pedal floored, the throttle butterfly should be horizontal in the throttle body. If it is, DO NOT perform this mod as flooring the accelerator pedal would then put extra strain on the pedal mounts, throttle cable, and throttle body itself."

Pic below is of the throttle cable mod.

I pulled my floor mat out from under my gas pedal and waxed my headlights. The only problem is that I think I knocked my muffler bearings loose with the additional power.
