With a cable system it usually gives enough to keep your engine at idle, assuming your foot is off the pedal.
For me, I like the fact that I can slow the travel down on my throttle, and get more pedal, aiding in hooking up when the track gets dry slick. If you need pictures of how mine is installed, let me know and I can text or email you some.
