Weapon R throttle rotor

Has anybody bought this product. And did you feel any difference. Is it really worth the 45 bucks?

The benefits explained in that article seem to be the same realized when tightening up the throttle cable. I tightened up my throttle cable a while back and got better throttle response (and it was free )

Adjusting the tension on the throttle cable is going to effect your idle rpm. You want your car to idle at 700-800 rpm. If it's already idling at this figure I wouldn't touch it.

I just took the slack out of the cable. Basically you adjust it until there is minimal slack, but not to the point that it affect the idle. My car still idles just as it did before I made the adjustment.
