Just installed a dragon upper plenum
no probs on the install at all.
But: did my throttle cable have this much slack before?
It sure didnt seem so, but perhaps im wrong.
It seems like a can push it down and it will move over a half-inch.
Im def. getting WOT as i checked that manually, its just seems really slack when its coming back.

Also seems like there is almost a squeek when im getting on it.
Is that just the air intake or perhaps a bolt is not properly torqued?
Just checking to see if anyone else has these issues.

thanks

If you're getting WOT, then it's routed correctly. I thought the same thing when I did mine. The thing is, you never got under there and messed with it before and now you think there's a lot of slack in it, which there is. Also, the "squeek" is just a suction noise with the increased air velocity. I wish mine was louder. hahaha

hey, just wanted to confirm for ya as well.. did my dragon TB/plenum some last thursday, and i noticed the same thing, throttle cable was slacked, but when the pedal was down the TB plate was flat. the squeak is the vaccume being broken on the TB blade ... i got it too

I did this with a 3/4" piece and it makes a world of difference.
