OIC, in that case, no problem. A hair or two won't effect wide open throttle performance. If you suspect a throttle problem, checking to be sure the TPS (throttle position sensor) is set to the right volts might be worth checking. It sounds as though the car is slower then it should be in the 1/4 but that would depend on the 60 foot time to.
