throttle body help

i have a question about throttle body's my bronco doesn't seem to be getting full throttle i just replaced the whole throttle cable with a brand new one and it hasn't changed i looked at the throttle body while my friend pressed on the gas the butterfly only opened about 50% i thought the butterfly was supposed to be completly straight

When the pedal is to the floor, the butterfly should be completely open. Is the pedal on the floor at the end of it's travel? Is there excessive slack in the cable when there's no pressure on the pedal?

How much is a little bit? I'm not sure if there's any adjustment point for removing slack.
