Default Throttle linkage / carb question

Okay, I got the mechanical linkage set up on my 4000 series cobra with the 427 medium riser side oiler with a Holley 4150 750 cfm double pumper. I have the pedal linkage set so that its throw is as short as possible (bottom hole on the pedal lever) and the carb linkage set for as long a throw as possible (on the top hole of the linkage lever) and when the pedal is fully depressed I still have about another 1/2 inch of throw on the carb side to get the butterfles all the way open. The pedal side is already adjusted to the point where any more movement withthe pedal all the way up (throttle closed) will give me and "over center" situation which jams the throttle linkage. I would really like all the throttle ( butterflies all the way open at WOT) I can get. Any ideas? Thanks.
