re-calibrate your wheel and pedals, but put a book or something under the pedals so when you press on the gas, the book prevents the pedal from moving it's full range. You will then have 'short-calibrated' your pedals and gpl will assume that when the pedal is pressed 90% of it's travel, that is 100% to GPL. dave henrie "Glenn Andressen" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
