I have been having throttle issues since I put the 1050 Dominator on my small block. To start with I could not get full throttle with the stock mopar cable. I ordered a Lokar cable from Summit and finally got full throttle which has been difficult also. Now when I mash the gas peddle the throttle on the carb moves slowly after I mash to the floor. It is moving so slow it is slowing my 60 ft. down. Has anybody else had this problem before. I am sure I am already close to the 60ft. by the time the throttle is wide open.

It has a loop in it. There is no way it can go straight from firewall to carb. I would post pic but I can't since the forum has changed.

Will it help any if I shorten the cable and make the loop smaller.

Get rid of the loop... make the cable as straight as possible... cut the housing to a length that makes it to the carb then pull the inner cable up and put the cable end on it... dont put the cable in the outer hole on the carb.. down a little from the big hole is a 1/8 to 3/16 hole.. use that one.. that will give you a better ratio to get WOT

I am going to shorten the cable as much as possible. There is no way I can avoid having at least a small loop. Without a loop it would be two sharp bends in it and I think it would bind. Maybe that will work.
