Check your throttle cable

Went to the track last week and was running crappy times. 14.1's 14.3's. But what was weird was my gas pedal has been mushy for a few weeks.Well after those runs I checked my Throttle plate and the cable holder was cracked. The black clip that holds it in place was broke, causing me not to have WOT. After a few zip ties it opened fully and I ran a 13.8. So $23 later my car has instant throttle response.And the thottle opens fully. If I were you I would check yours also if you arent getting wot response.
