I did this on my car about 2 years ago, 30k miles or so. No problem, just be sure to test and make sure the throttle cable doesn't get kinked and thus sticky....once you go WOT and let off it may not go back down to 0 all the way. If it doesn't do it right away, it probably never will....

I did this about a year ago but I just used some black zip ties and tied the cable to the underside of my strut brace. Its all black anyways. Its out of the way, and it DOES look alot cleaner around your valve cover without it. No binding of the gas pedal here.

I just did the cable mod. While I was at it, I also polished the uicp. It looks alot cleaner with the cable moved.
