Need advice for slowing my car down consistently.

Ok, something is not making sense here. When testing last night (almost no cars there due to a threat of rain)....got 3 passes in before getting rained out. First pass was with the car weighed down and the throttle cable moved 1/4 inch the car ran 11.17. Second pass, I move the throttle cable another 1/4 inch and it ran 11.09 (say what???). 3rd pass, I removed over an inch of travel out of my throttle cable, my gas peddle is almost laying on the floor of my car...I mean, the peddle barley moves.... I launch the car and it feels a little lethargic, then a second into the run it starts taking off like a banshee....and the car is STILL running 11.3 :banghead: (I'm trying to slow it down to 12.0). This doesn't make sense to me. I'm only getting MAYBE 1/4 throttle...MAYBE.... and the car is only slowing by about half a second (would have probably run 10.8 in these conditions at full throttle).....what the crap!

I'm going to have to change plans because I can't move the throttle cable any further forward...these is no place left to clamp it....I guess I'll be making that throttle stop after all, or just saying screw it and run Pro.:banghead:

I think famous bob had it right (a few posts back), I should stay in Pro and just win more...lol.
