    Lets see, cable pedal, cable, DBC TB, possilbly intake swap, rewire harness, or new harness, possible change reluctor wheel to 24x, change cam sensor plug, change cam gear to 1x reading, change to a 411 pcm....
    Or thier might be a easier way....

    i think cable is better. ive driven an 05 'hoe w/ DBW and it sucks. if you go WOT there is no jump, its just a slow acceleration. they have a ways to go before that becomes a nice feature. IMO

    Thats the tq management and stuff. That can be tuned out.

    id have to disagree, i have an 08 no tq management at all and the response is still slow. holley and FAST make dbc tbs they are 90mm 4 bolt they will work on our intakes!! i have one for my LSx swap

    I didnt say the 08 had the same setup. I dont know if the 08 does or doesnt. I do know My 04 had DBW and had the same problem until I had it tuned. But IMO If I had a 90mm DBW tb stock, I would not throw any money at another 90mm DBW tb. I under stand maybe porting the stock unit, but Thats like somone buying a 78mm fast to replace a 78mm stock. :shootselfinface:
