Mushy gas pedal

As we all know the camry has mushy a gas pedal. I have tightened the kickdown cable and throttle cable but still want the pedal to push back more. Is there anything else I cab do to make the throttle more sensitive and push back a littlt more?

In a world where some laws make sense, there's always gonna' be those few that make you scratch your head. I don't believe driving barefoot is illegal in Montana.

its also illegal becuase you cannot slam the brakes without shoes one, try putting a gen2 brake pedal to the floor without shoes on, your likely to break your foot!

It's easier to heel-toe with bare feet (or just socks) because bulky shoes dont give you the "feel" to reliably control both pedals.
