Angry ASR Causing Throttle Body Problems

Hey guys I'm new here... I usually post on z28.com but no one seems to be able to help me with this one...
I have ASR (Traction Control) on my 2002 Camaro Z28.
She is very fast, but apparently not as fast as she can be

You see, my ASR seems to be stopping my throttle cable short. and not just short, about 40% short.
SO getting only 60% open throttle when I floor it seems... wrong to me

I know this can be fixed, but how? If anyone has pictures (Wanted Most) or realllly good instructions (Wanted... but not as much as pics), do ya think you can help me out?

I have an 05 GTO to race this month...

follow the throttle cable from the throttle body to the ASR thing by your battery. there is a clip on the cable housing between the TB and the ASR motor. You have to unclip the lock on it the you can slide the cable housings apart to get rid of the slack. then put the lock back on and your set.
It sounds alot harder than it really is.
i would post a pic but i took my ASR off a while ago.

i took off the lock, that thing fought me the whole time! so i didnt know if i was doing it right. I take off the lock, there is a piece of plastic with hundreds of 'threads'... correct?

i think so. its been a while since i've done it. but once you get the lock off you just pull the cables away from each other and it just takes the slack out.
