Should I use a cable for the throttle or just use a rod mechanism

I'm in the mist of building a 1967 dart gt for street strip mostly strip duty. The engine is a 526 with the SV-1 carb and I was wondering if it was feasible to run a rod from the carb through the firewall the a modified gas pedal or if I should just use a lokar throttle cable?
