Cable Throttle body or Drive by wire?
Since both options are available, I want to know what are the pros and cons to each. I was planning on running a Holley Terminator X Engine controller which if IIRC has options for both throttle controls.
Even if costs are a bit more for converting to Drive by wire and I have more options available for tuning and engine protection from overrevving etc, I don't mind paying a bit more.
Thanks,

Cable Operation is more reliable, and less expensive.
Electronic Operation allows for Electronic Traction-Control, and can close the Throttle for you in a safety situation (loss of Oil Pressure, Etc).
