Default 2000 XKR Throttle adjustment, Oh holy crap!

All smiles here!

My pedal adjusted close to 1.5 inch.

The extra power is stunning. Its like a new car all over again.
It feels like an endless power band.

ASC was flashing constantly as Kate lost grip, granted it was on shiney slick asphalt.

Power from a dead stop is even better now.


Thanks to all you guys and this forum!

Yeah, these are actually performance vehicles should you choose to drive them as such.

Default Unbelievable difference

Made the adjustment and it is easily the best time investment I have ever made in my garage. Immediately an improvement in performance, although I am certain my gas mileage is going to suffer now.

There is another older thread on this fix where the argument was on added HP vs. better throttle travel, so I won't start the "great taste, less filling" debate again, but I strongly recommend this adjustment.

My throttle was maybe 45 degrees at WOT. Now it is the proper 90 and I am all smiles. I love this forum almost as much as my Jag.

I hope more people do this, it is so simple.
