Default removed TB spacer=problem??

last night i replaced my stock throttle body with a S2. i had my GF floor it with the truck off and it hit the bump stop fine. today i decided to remove my helix tb spacer. when i took it out for a drive i found that it shifts 1-2 at 5000 instead of 6000. so i start trouble shooting and figured out that the throttle isnt making it to the bump stop.

i dont know how far its missing by because i just rubbed grease on the bump stop and it never made it to the throttle mover thingy(nobody to help).

will the computer learn to make up for this lack of throttle or do i need to adjust something?????

help

yes sir it will. should be a flat piece if aluminum where the linkage bolts up on top of the intake. remove it completely and reinstall the linkage without it. if you arent far come on over and ill fix it for you. lemme know if you need some help. pm sent.
