Default Throttle pedal travel.

Hey guys.
Using the GM controller kit for my swap which uses the fly by wire throttle.
The pedal itself seems to have very limited travel compared to cable pedals and just wondering if anyone else has used this kit before?

Will add photos for reference when I can.

Gen 3 or Gen 4? Is there a TAC module?

If it uses one of the truck pedals I`m not surprised at all. I have used a few of them in swaps and they always seem to have a very short throw even before you cut the length down.

Now that I think about it my ctsv is dbw and I haven`t noticed it having a short travel.

They always seem to have a short travel when not installed. Once you install it and push it with your foot it will feel normal.

Thanks guys!
Yea confirmed with a friend running the same kit.
The pedal is super firm though so I guess it'll still have feel but the limited travel threw me off.
Thanks again.
