yeah i just figured this out last week also, i pulled that clip off when i was doing my headers thinking the cable would separate but it doesn't, it's just spring loaded, that little clip is actually your adjustment, make sure all of your slack is out of the cable before putting the clip back in

Haha, wth I've never heard of that. I'd be pissed if I installed all those parts and it still felt slow. How has it been like that?

Some general location might be helpful to people who don't know exactly what you are referring to.
Under dash?
On bracket at throttle body?
Where?

Hook up the phone to your computer and open the pictures folder. Drag the pictures to your desktop and then just upload them to photobucket or whatever you prefer. That's what I do.
