727 and using a cable system to the carb for TV to transmission. Everything I'm reading speaks to making adjustments with stock TV rods.

The way I have it currently adjusted is I've set the maximum TV to be at full throttle. But I'm not sure that is the correct ratio. It's not shifting very well.

Basically what is the ratio I should be looking for? For example should the TV cable be engaging the valve early in the throttle position or later in the throttle position?
 
If you have it set for full pull at full throttle and don't like it, you're just gonna have to play with it a little to find the sweet spot, I know, that's what she said lol....seriously though just back it off a little bit at a time and test. You'll know you went too far the other way if it fails to kick down at pedal-to-the-floor (or you have to go nearly TO the floor if you have a part-throttle valve body). I just don't think there's any set rule as to where to end up with a cable setup.
