Default Throttle Position Sensor Adjustable 1993 ??

Has anyone tried the 'adjustable' Throttle Position Sensor?
Is it any good or should I just replace with stock?
Thanks

I don't see what difference it would make.
The LT1 ECM takes the voltage figure it first sees when key turned on and uses that as the base TPS number.
Does not require setting TPS to .54V like the earlier TPI cars did

Seems appropriate,
I have been trying to work out bugs since I added a BBK 52MM TB, but assuming it is the same a my 92.. The FSM states that anything under .99 (if my memory is correct) is treated the same as closed throttle...
