Default Lower gas pedal height after fast 90mm intake install

After installing my fast 90 mm intake the gas pedal has lowered in height or pushed closer to the floor. I believe this is the case because the fast intake and fast TB are a little longer than the stock setup. This bothers me because the throttle is too sensitive. How can I raise the pedal to align with the brake and clutch? Longer TB cable or a new pedals?

Thanks for your help

If you follow your throttle cable from the throttle body you should find a piece that can be opened that allows you to adjust the cable tighter or looser. Just loosen it a bit and you should be fine.

At least this is how my 99 is.

I will check the throttle position when the pedal should be WOT.

I followed the throttle cable but it goes straight to the firewall, there is nothing to adjust. I don't have traction control on the car, maybe that is why there is no adjuster. It seems like the cable is too long because when I bring the pedal to normal height there is a lot of lag in the cable at the TB. Can I cut the cable and re-attach the TB hook or stopper thing?
