throttle spring

I have a problem with the gas pedal on the xB - it is too light so much so that I get a cramp in my shin holding my foot OFF the pedal. Try a step spring on the throttle, one that adds extra tension on the pedal about 1/4-1/3 the way to the floor or even less, then you have to push HARDER to burn gas. I think an adjustable tension point on the spring would allow you to use it like a cruise control. Something I am thinking of trying. The restrictor plate would work for this applicaton also.
