Default Throttle body problems

First off, i have a golden eagle intake manifold, and skunk2 throttle body. I recently changed the throttle body back to oem because of problems with the S2 unit.

But when i put the stock one on I cant seem to adjust the cable properly. When i adjust it so that the plate is closed at 0% throttle, I can only get 55% open with pedal to the floor. If i adjust it so that it opens all the way, ill be sitting at 30% throttle without pushing the pedal. Any help would be appreciated. Do i need a different TB?

your TB does not need to open to be exactly horizontal if thats what you are saying

Well i can tell that its not all the way open, as i can open it further by hand by just turning the throttle plate. And i used the tps that came with this throttle body, which to my knowledge was already adjusted.
