Throttle cable length for an Aces EFI set up

So I noticed that on my 84 Camaro, the throttle cable in routed to the driver side of the intake cause it's carbed currently, and the aces 92mm TB puts the cable on the passenger side of the intake. I was wondering if anyone knows how long of a throttle cable I'll need for this. I'll be using Aces multi-port tunnel ram cast intake manifold for my 350 build.

Re: Throttle cable length for an Aces EFI set up

I'm not sure of any factory configuration or common aftermarket intake that would've had a passenger side throttle cable location. You will probably need to take measurements and get something custom. Certainly curious to know how the Aces EFI setup works. Seems like there are a lot of these random companies popping up with EFI systems.

I have noticed that the LS intake manifold puts the throttle cable on the passenger side, I'll still measure stuff out just to be sure. And I'm pretty sure Aces has been around for a few years now, their most notable product being the Killshot TBI kit. Self learning ECM, quality intakes, etc. All for a reasonable price. (Not sponsored, just like how they do things lol)

Yes. Aftermarket LS cable driven setups are typically passenger side. I was speaking factory engines or SBC setups since that is what you are running.

Regarding Aces their website came online sometime in 2022. FiTech was certainly early to the game around 2015. I just found it ironic I guess that I had never heard of Aces before seeing it all over my facebook advertisements over the weekend and now seeing a post on here about it. I am glad to see competition in the market for sure. Holleys stuff is certainly nice but expensive. I'd love to one day convert to a full on sequential with individual coil per plug setup on mine.

RamJet 350 has a passenger side cable.

Check out Lokar, like this. The ends are changeable. I have two of these in use. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/lok-tc-1000u

All vortec truck has the throttle cable and throttle cam on the passenger's side. That cable is off the shelf, cheap and even though the your routing would be different, it would probably work just fine for your pass side application.

Re: Throttle cable length for an Aces EFI set up

many intake manifolds you can rotate the throttle body 180 and have the cable on the drivers side.. it help to clean up the look as well.

here is an example
