Throttle cable

If you replace your throttle cable with this one

If there are two cable swedges , use the one closest to the firewall. If you use the one on the end you will notice a lack of performance.

I found that was my lower power problem. I had very little pedal movement. A zip tie solved the problem

I use to zip tie them in place due to them not snapping into that inner one, want to know the correct fix? Bend your throttle pedal up to get more pedal out of it and you can use the correct hole,,

Old man told me that once, didn't believe him until I tried it. Gained at least a quarter more throttle, no wonder my truck was so slow when I bought it xD

I'm using the ATP cable, is that the one you're referring to? I did not notice multiple ways to attach it at either end. Which end are you talking about? I was going to use a zip tie or a crimp fishing line weight on it to bring the pedal up a little but I guess I could bend the pedal slightly as well.

The pedal end. I would have to bend the pedal about 4 inches. I bought the cheaper of the 2 the other end was right
