I noticed last summer that my cab was not opening all the way.I got all the slack out of the gas pedal cable and it seemed to be working fine but this morning after installing a nx relay to my transbrake and nitrous system i went to test it and everything worked fine when i set the nitrous micro switch off by hand but could not get it to work with the gas pedal so i had the wife come out and work the gas pedal while i watched and 3/4 open is all i can get.Tried to adjust cable at carb area but it's just to long anyway you look at it.So after saying all that can i make the cable shorter and how would i go about this?I noticed inside the car at the pedal the cable has a crimped fitting
holding it in place but how would you go about making the cable shorter? THANKS,BILL

or you can get a Lokar cable and cut to desired length, thats what I'm using, has held up great to all the pedal smashing :D
