I need to "trim" the center tunnel a little so my pedals can fit better. How much of a structural factor is it to the car? see pics.

Actually, i do have a question, what are you using to "spring back" the pedal? My CNC pedal has a mouse trap spring in the back to push it.

Nothing in the pedal itself. All of the return will come from the throttle return springs - plural. I'm planning on at least three; two on the throttle body and one on the linkage (The stock set-up has two to begin with). After all, one of the best things about big horsepower is being able to shut it off!

Trust me, and extra 1-1/2"-2" at the pedals will make a huge difference.

Have to agree with byndbad here. I like a bit of bend in the knees too, but it will be easier to move the pedals toward you if they are too far away than to make more room later if you decide you are a bit too close. I feel that the race car needs to fit you a close to perfectly as you can manage. It's amazing how distracting small details can be when you're on the track...

Like I told my buddy, I buy my clothes off the rack, but I custom tailor my car! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
