Carter AFB linkage

Has anyone had any problems with the throttle and kickdown linkage? I just put a new Carter AFB 9637 on my bronco (351W and C6) and it is very sluggish after getting up to 55-60 mph. I think one of the problems is that the kickdown arm and throttle cable are not working as smoothly as they should. There is very little clearance and maybe even a little rubbing as the pedal is pushed down. (Even though this model supposedly has the Ford-friendly linkage). I am going to try a new linkage (EDL1483) that I have heard might help. Everything seems good until you get the truck up to speed and under load, that is where she becomes completely gutless.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
