I had the same problem. One of the worm clamps for the bellows was obstructing then movement of the tb cam.

Pics please.

Techincially they only open half way lol. But joking aside, when I had my BBK TB on mt LT1, if I put the cable in the wrong slot (it had 2), it would do the same. Does your Fast have 2 spots where you can connect the Throttle Cable?
