I snapped my oem cable(got loose and burned on the header) got a non adjustable replacement, but I've read theres suppose to be a gap/slack between the cable and the firewall adjuster, well I've got the adjuster all the way in but the tension is still there with zero gap.

you need to use an adjustable cable with such a set up

hmmmm not sure if im willing to use a ****tier cable....

pretty sure Steeda says you can use a stock cable with their quadrant setup

one hook for stock the other for adjustables

just an fyi, I run a steeda adjustable cable, they sell such so it's not a crappier cable

Speaking of adjustable cables and slack, not to hijack the thread or anything, is there normally supposed to be some slack or does that just depend on the setup? I have LRS's kit with the triple hook quad, stock firewall, and adjustable cable. It is adjusted till no slack and engages right off the floor pretty much. I haven't had alot of time behind it but it seems to work without slippage. Any ideas?

its not suppose to be right off the floor, i believe half way is a good point, mines alittle closer to the top

I believe it is more around half way but on the bottom half. I know if I had a firewall adjuster I could put it more to where I want it.
