Re: How to tighten throttle cable on non-asr f-body? What do you mean? I don't believe there's any kind of adjustment with the cable at all.
Is it stretched or something? Are you not getting WOT with the accellerator pedal all the way down?

Re: How to tighten throttle cable on non-asr f-body? I swapped from a 2000 to a 99 TB shaft and thus there is a lot of slack.

Re: How to tighten throttle cable on non-asr f-body? Yea, the cam size is different, the 97's to 99's have a smaller radius. I guess you could make a shim for the cable where it attaches onto the manifold, or maybe to the pedal end.

Re: How to tighten throttle cable on non-asr f-body? ran into the same thing, barowed a 99 for my 2002 so i could port it, damn thing only gives me 3/4-1/2 throttle. Then tried a truck tb and it was even worse. I have seen people tighten the cable by pulling it off the mounting at the front of the intake and turning it. For some reason it wouldn't work on mine.

Re: How to tighten throttle cable on non-asr f-body? I actually modified the cable.....
Procedure:
1) Go to hobby shop and get the little collars with set screws in them (they are used on RC Airplanes and cars...)
2) cut a slot in the collar 90 degrees to the set screw
3) Get under the dash (to get at the peddle) and pull all the slack out of the cable (shortens it up).
4) Install the cut collar on the cable up tight against the peddle and lock the set screw down.
Someone had posted how to do this some two years ago when I first got my car. This worked for me. I improved on it a little so I didn't have to "CUT" the cable. If the collar ever slips I don't loose all throttle (cable pull through peddle). Its too bad GM didn't build in an adjustmint in these things.
