A hand throttle is legal "but" not like you want
To fit as it must be spring return.
If you only basically want to increase the tickover to about 1500rpm like I did then an easy way is do it Is with some pipes and a lever valve and use them to bypass the throttle body like the cold air bypass does.

For my manual on those hill climbs I have done this:
took a bike lever mounted it to the stick then ran the cable to the gas pedal.
