The stock throttle linkage on my SS seems to be too tight so that when I go to full brake and return it to idle the throttle opens up a little bit and it moves while idling. Loosening up the screw on the servo seems to help but not very much. Is this a common problem? Is there anything I can do to solve this? I saw the Ofna Throttle linkage mod on this forum somewhere. Would that fix the problem? If so, how much would that cost?

idk if it will fix your problem, but try adjusting you servo position, and then lengthen the linkage going from the swivel arm to the carb.

You need to adjust the Throttle servo saver so that it's keeping the carb closed. The next problem your going to find is that your throttle won't open all the way, thanks to an overly strong return spring and a very weak spring in the servo saver.
I fixed this by removing the return spring. You HAVE TO HAVE A FAIL-SAFE if you do that though.

no, you just need to be able to run fast

YEAH!!!! Really, really fast.
