Default LSA swap, trying to figure out throttle linkage/cables?

Seeing if anyone has any ideas here. The factory linkage 33C cables are a stiff ended design with about 3" of travel. The factory TB on these engines are a cammed design with a flexible cable. Cable comes over the top and goes around the cam then hooks into one of the holes on bottom. Length of pull Id say is roughly 1.5-2"




Might be able to affix std linkage to the throttle cam with some kind of swivel pin, but is there a way to change the length of travel in the shifter itself?

On many types of throttles, you can adjust the amount of throw by connecting the 33cc cable in a different spot on the bottom of the lever.

make a arm and attach to the cam bringing it up to get a strait line with a bracket you will have to make to of intake. play with heights to get the ratio that works with your throttle assy.

they make a DBW to cable adapter if you already have the LSA thorttle body. was looking at doing this a year ago, that way you can run the cable to where every is easiest to mount and it should plug n play with the LS/LQ harness
