Can reach "full throttle" when in a corner...ALDA?

When I have the steering wheel slightly turned and romp on the go pedal the pedal seems to stop traveling before it should. As I straighten out the wheels coming out of a turn I can feel the pedal depress a bit farther. I have checked the "throttle" linkage, but it is not anywhere near the steering shaft. The only thing I can think of is that I am not at full boost and the ALDA is preventing full rack travel and therefore the pedal from going to the floor. I just find it strange that I only notice it when in a corner.

If it helps I am using a custom linkage on this car that is a modified version of the '79 linkage that runs across the firewall, and not the "torsion" style linkage normally found on turbo engines.

Thanks for any ideas.
