944 throttle cam

How many of you have the weltmeister throttle response cam installed? I got mine yesterday, and i can't seem to get used to it. I can't "really" feel the car like i did before. Is this something you guys got used to? Any of your switch back to the oem cam?

I got used to it quickly, I really actually like it, I don't have the weltmeister one, but i made my own, same thing, and it takes awhile to get used to, but i think it improves the acceleration alot, I really like it. I would never go back actually.

i like the extra throttle response from a standing start. but, when shifting at high rpms, i dont have a feel for for rev matching so i end up overreving and...well, my clutch isn't very happy.

Hopefully ill get it used to it soon..

Oh that just takes some practice, I am perfect at it now, after a while you will get it I promise, just take it easy on the gas for now, you have to relearn how to drive basically.

I installed mine about a month ago. It took a little getting used to, bet it is definitely more enjoyable to drive.
