5.3l/t56 questions
I have a 06 5.3l (drive by wire) and a ls t56.
My car is a 87 camaro (tpi auto car)
Question in relation to the drive by wire, has anyone ran this, i see people switch out for cable but nothing on keeping it electronic, since i have to do work on the pedals for the manual, i was thinking maybe it be easy to just keep it drive by wire?

I've seen a number of swaps where people retained the DBW system... seemed to work out just fine. Doesn't seem to be any particular advantage to changing to a cable throttle.

Im more than likely ditching the 5.3l i take, i kmow the throttle body bolts up, im more worried about the hassel of DBW and finding manual pedals for it. Probably easier to go cable?

Re: 5.3l/t56 questions
I'm not sure that you can just change over to cable throttle body without changing the engine PCM too. You might want to look in to that (sorry I can't help more).
