Throttle pedal hard to push

I just switched my throttle cable from a tpi to carb cable since I did a tpi to carb swap. I have the trick flow throttle and tv cable bracket and the sonnax geometry corrector. The problem is that the throttle pedal is extremely hard to push, I really have to stand on the throttle to get it wide open. Do I need to get lighter return springs, or is it something else?
