Uh.. try only three quarters throttle with the pedal to the floor! Can't believe you didn't notice the difference!

My dad put a new after market pedal on the accelerator
of his Mazda 3 SP23 so it would be closer to the brake
for heel and toe, but I swear it feels like it
doesn't go flat out and right to the floor anymore.
Farken ghey.
I mostly use a different foot movement to him when
doing heel and toe. i sorta keep my foot on the floor
and roll my foot, instead of lifting my heel of the
ground, so i found it better to drive before he put
the pedal on. I can do both methods but i find the
heel on the floor better for me.

Its easy to check - get someone to push the pedal to the floor, then see if you can turn the throttle wheel any further! Closer pedals... wicked!

Just for the un-initiated. Make sure the ignition is OFF...

where it mounts on plenum before butterfly and goes from enclosed cable to normal cable could have just been screwed on too close

friend of mine had a similar problem in an old crx. the car drives hard up to bout 4000rpm and it goes flat after that which is strage for hondas
i jumped in and first thing notice so much pedal play, pop the bonnet and found accelerator cable so loose it almost jump of the throttle wheel itself. no wonder it feels flat at high revs, foot to floor and throttle still only partially open.
adjusted up the cable and all was good, friend says goes so much better
