Default Fly by wire pedal has very little play

This is a new fly by wire pedal, for a camaro/vette into an old 68 Camaro. It seems to have no or little play.

Is there some pin or something that has to be removed from these new pedals to give it a full range of motion?

Thanks for any help here.

LOL, I bought the LS3 stand alone set up from GM and when I pulled the pedal out of the box I said the same thing. Its more of a throttle switch; on or off

I thought the same thing when I pulled the pedal out of the box for my E-Rod LS3.

hopefullly someone can chime in who is using one. I mean you know the difference between 20 and 25 mph is just a little squeeze on the ( normal ) pedal, but how in the hell can you regulate idle to 30 to 70+ in that tiny *** throw?

I have a 5.3 from a 2003 Suburban in my '78 Buick and your right the DBW pedals have an unusually short throw from GM, Let alone once you have to cut it down to fit into the car...then it feels like a 3/8" throw. As for driving it, It took me about one day to get used to it around town and on the highway (although I usually just set my cruise) HOWEVER if driving on the highway without cruise and you attempt to flex your toes yes, you will find yourself shooting from 70 to 90 really quick (ask Gbody about that he knows when I move my toes just by watching the car jump ahead. If you need a pic of how my pedal was shortened I could have one up tomorrow (if requested). All in all a lot of yammering to say once you drive it your gonna hate having to push so far in a normal car.
