Default Extra Cable On TB?

Last night i was telling my buddy how my car only hits 119 mph and then bogs down. He didnt think that to be right so we took a look under my hood and he says i got a cable that stops my tb from opening 100%. While we looking another buddy comes up and sees the cable and tells me its a kick down cable for an auto transmission he also noticed that my cruise control was in a different spot as hiss 2000 ss. well i thought this to be a little wierd so id figure i would ask u all knowing ls1 guys and see if someone could give a definat answer. Any help would be greatfully appreciated

after we took a nice hard look at it we realized that it had nothing to do with the TB opening in anyway. the thing that got me was the guy with the SS said that it looked like a kick down cable for an automatic put he said he has never seen anything like that on a camaro and then he noticed that my cruise control box wasnt were his was. then we traced the cable to back around my master cylinder and back towards the front of the car

the TCS/ASR is the thing mounted on the passenger shock tower. if you don't have that but u do have cruise, then you have 2 cables, one from the pedal and one from the cruise

...and if your car shuts off around 120 mph that's a speed limiter. It was programmed into the computer on cars that did not come from the factory with Z rated tires. Mine is the same way, raised the limiter with HPP3.
