C6 kickdown rod adjustment question

Can anybody tell me how the kickdown rod should be adjusted on a C6. I changed-over to a Holley 4bbl with a spacer and my kickdown rod is way too short now. I had an extra rod, so I bent it so that the kickdown is all the way down when the throttle is wide-open. This makes sense to me, but I'd sure like to hear from somebody who actually KNOWS. Thanks for any help you can offer.
Brett

I've got mine set so the transmission kicks down before the secondaries open on my Holley.
