    secondly has anyone heard that using a 02-04 vette tac module will eliminate the need for xlink?

    whatever you do get the cam spected just for your application


    i have the cable driven throttle body, only thing i had to do was make a bracket for it, sorry cant help ya on the dbw tb.

    the swap is pretty straight foreward, but i used edelbrock fuel rails and custom fuel lines with a external pressure gauge .


    heres an old pic of the motor




    bracket has been changed slightly, and a custom intake has been made for it.

    My camaro build uses l92s with l76 intake. Now I want to take advantage of the heAd flow to improve torque on my driver. I'm concerned about intake fitment, plumbing, injectors etc. I know programming would be needed. Any advice on vette tac module?

    Im planning on doing this same swap on my 6.0 that Im building. I was going to use the GMPP single plane intake manifold instead of the L76 or L92 truck manifold and slap either an elbow and get a cable driven 90mm TB or get a cable driven 4 barrel TB to go on top. I saw the 4 barrel TB on another members truck a while back and it made me droool.
