i just put a 70mm profesional products throttle body on and when i attached the throttle cable to the t/b and now its alot harder to push the pedal down, it closes very slowly, and stick at WOT.. when the throttle cable and the t/b were seperate from each other they moved fine and worked the same way ive alwats been used to.. but together its alot harder to open the t/b and it sticks open.. im really confused as to y its doing this

Make sure the throttle cable has a straight shot at at the throttle body coming out of the bracket.My friends did that with his new intake and we had to grind out the bolt holes and bend it a little but you should be able to just bend it a little.

I've got the same set up with no binding. I did however have to return the t/b for a new one because the throttle shaft was leaking vacume. Unfortunatly precision and craftmanship are not to high on Pro Prod's list.
