Default t.b. bracket

i installed my ls6 intake and p.p. stock throttlebody this past weekend, but when i went to hook the cable back up to my throttlebody, it wouldn't close all the way!

why is this? Its like there wasnt enought cable to let it go all the way closed, and hit the bump stop. I ended up having to drill another hole in the bracket and move it forward some, closer to the throttlebody.

thats the only way i could make it close all the way, and open all the way. And yes, it still has tension on it. Is there any way i can adjust the cable so i can actually put the bracket back in its stock location where it belongs???

do u have traction control?

look along the TB cable and there should be a joint with a plastic screw to adjust the cable

not sure if cars without TCS have that joint tho
