I drill out (actually "slotting them " would be more correct IMHO) tps's all the time he11 my 02 4.6 exploder the first thing i did to it was dril it out and set it to 1.1 at idle ... now the 5r55 shifts like i got a mild shift kit in it

also fords ecu actually reads anything less then 1.1 as idle not the 1.0 that is the common max voltage number thrown around but if 1.1 is all you can get out odf it it is realisticlt to high becasue if it sticks at all coming down then you are above 1.1... If your car is a standard then all you are looking for is at least 4.6v WOT or more you go into the wot tables at 4.6 volts so anymore then that is just coving you backside i case it doesn't consistently open quite the same evertime. Also remember to go the the adaptive idle relearn ever time you reset your TPS or it doesn't do any good immeditly. good luck.

PS the 94-95 bodyys are different... in more ways then one the eger is only one example the throttle cable has a completely differt attaching system as well.. you could go to a "fox" throttle body if you had an aftermarket upper and took the elbow off, got a fox thrrottle bracket, egr plate and did some custom bending to the eger line to get it to line up right... this all assuming you have a cowl hood or something to clear the tbody and assorted stuff that would now hit the stock hood.
