I notice my car revs higher now. When i throw the car in park, it revs at 2000 rpms. Is this bad or normal after doing this mod? Will my gas milage go down slightly? I do notice the more quicker response off the line, im just concerned about if it is safe in the long run.

you've tighten the cable too much
i did the same the 1st time
i dont think it harms the car..
but it does kill the mileage

No, you don't want it idling at 2k........This is not really a mod, it is just to get rid of all the extra slack from the cable.....You should idle no more than 800-900 rpm.....And thats pretty high already......My car idles at 650-700.......No studder..........

You should adjust it when the car is on, so you can hear the rpm.....Make sure you wear something tight and watch for loose clothing.....
