Aftermarket Throttle Cable?

Aftermarket Throttle Cable?
What is everyone using for aftermarket throttle cables? I currently run a Lokar, but it stretches alot. Is there something more heavy duty available?

how the hell are you stretching a braided cable???
i'm using a lokar and have never had an issue like that because they're strong as hell and i really don't believe it's even possible with the little bit of force it takes to overcome the spring pressure of a throttle blade!
i would check and make sure your set screws are tight before anything. then double check your length and be sure it's got NO slack in it when the throttle blade is closed. and last be sure your throttle stop is not bent or anything.
good luck!

We have the throttle stop (hard stop on the floor under the pedal) set so the throttle opens to about 1/32" short of W.O.T. On average, the cable will need to be-retightened about 1 time per race weekend. The cable is correct in length & all the slack is out of it. Regardless of my luck, Lokar is known for high end street rod stuff and not race car stuff so I would like to go to something a little more bullet proof with a more robust end.
