I always recommend that people test the full range of the potentiometer when hooked up to the throttle to make sure they can get the controller all the way to full on.
Whats the top speed now? Pretty happy with the acceleration?

See, now the Geo Metro throttle position sensor is SUPPOSED to be 0-5K, even says so in the Factory Service Manual, but I measured it on all 7 of my Geos and none were over 2K!!
So I knew going into it that I was at 2/5 throttle, but it got me to the 25 mph I needed so I left good enough alone. I always had in mind that at some point I would install the blower and then I would put in the PB-6. I knew it would accelerate better, but I really didn't think that it would be better than what it was with the gas engine!
Anyway, I haven't taken it out of town so I'm keeping it at the speed limit. Maybe I'll shoot a video this weekend and check the top speed. Should be exciting if I grenade the motor...
