This is the right idea, I want more control at light throttle. I don't know if that would be feasible though. What kind of Porsche BTW?

After playing around with everything it seems like the stickiness I am feeling is in the pivot for the pedal itself. The throttle blade seems to have a nice snap to it with no stickiness.

Here's a few pics of the TB for reference. The black plastic piece attached to the cam is the cruise control cable.
