Some sort of throttle stop under the pedal is something I put on every car i build. The main reason is when you're 'pushing' for that last ounce of speed, you are not stressing out any of the linkage or stretching the cable. I make sure that it is adjusted at WOT and then can have the option of slowing it down if desired.
A lot of stuck throttle issues can be traced back to over-centered, deformed linkage, stuck wide open throttle blades, or frayed cables from over stressing, and no solid stop on the gas pedal.
