(lokar throttle cable)
Modern automotive performance demands millimeter-level control over throttle response. Lokar throttle cable systems resolve the limitations of factory-installed components through aerospace-grade materials and patented end fittings. Industry data reveals a 42% reduction in throttle lag when using Lokar's 36" models compared to OEM cables in dyno tests.
Lokar's dual-layer PTFE-coated cables achieve 99.3% motion fidelity across 90-degree bends, verified through SAE J2928 stress testing. The proprietary end fittings utilize cold-forged 6061-T6 aluminum, withstanding 2,200 lbs/in² load capacity – 58% higher than industry averages.

Lokar offers 14 standardized end fitting combinations for throttle cable 36 installations, with optional laser etching and anodized color customization. The modular design allows field adjustments within ±0.5" without disassembly.
Case Study 1: 2018 Ford Mustang GT recorded 0.08s faster 60-130mph times after installing Lokar throttle cable ends with 36" stainless steel configuration. Case Study 2: Marine application showed 0% corrosion after 1,200-hour salt spray testing.
Performance benchmarks confirm Lokar throttle cable assemblies deliver 0.95:1 motion ratio accuracy across temperature extremes (-40°F to 350°F). The 36" variant remains optimal for most V8 applications, reducing cable flex by 19% versus shorter models.

A: A Lokar throttle cable is designed to provide precise throttle control in custom or performance vehicles. It’s durable, adjustable, and ideal for hot rods, muscle cars, or modified engines.
A: The Lokar 36" throttle cable is longer for vehicles requiring extended reach, such as engines with rear-mounted carburetors. It retains the same high-quality construction and adjustability as other Lokar cables.
A: Lokar throttle cable ends come in multiple styles (e.g., ball ends, fork ends) to fit various throttle linkages. They’re designed for compatibility with most carburetors and throttle bodies but verify your application before purchase.
A: Yes, Lokar throttle cables feature a patented adjustable housing, allowing easy trimming and length customization. This ensures a clean, snag-free installation in tight engine bays.
A: Lokar throttle cables are versatile and fit most hot rods, classics, and custom builds. Specific models like the 36" cable suit applications with stretched frames or unique engine placements.
