Default What throttle cable for '94 camaro ls swap build?

Searched but came up with nothing specific. My car is a '94 with a ls motor, Vic jr intake, 2" spacer, 6061 elbow and NW tb. What cable should I buy? '94 cable, '02 cable? Will the 2" spacer make it too high for a stock size? Just too many variables for me to "wing it". Anybody have experience here? Thanks and heres my set-up...

I would just get an OEM throttle cable for a non TCS/ASR car. I don't have the 2 inch spacer on mine but I don't think that rasing it 2 inches would make my cable not reach

Gas pedal should be the same. GM wouldn't spend the money to change that

Yes, the gas pedals are the same. I used the above-mentioned cable on my swap.

Who makes an adjustable cable so that you can pull the slack out of it.....?

Gonna bump this back up. Borrowed my buddy's throttle cable (12565560 as above) and its SUPER long. Like it runs under the cowl to pass side and back to tb. Looks like *** and I can't see a huge loop being any good for smooth action. Gm have anything shorter or a Lokar one in my future?

use the lokar cable for the an ls. I have used it on 2 cars and its cut to length. Its good quality and reasonable. I had to cut the end of the pedal and turn it 90 so the clevis would pivot correctly. Here is a link to it.

Not too bad for $55. How does it get held to the fire wall?

I have a jegs on mine. Cut the sleeve and cable to length, bolts through the firewall with a bulkhead jamb nut. Guaranteed to fit! You'll have to weld a tab on the pedal because its a clevis attachment. 25 bucks and done.

Yep. It's not pretty and braided like the lokar, just black laminate over a steel wound sleeve. It's clean and functional though.
