Many of you know I'm installing a Megasquirt on my 03, I'll be using a cable drive TB and look at this as a chance to experiment a little to see if the cable drive will work with a little trickery :boxed: If it does run it'll open the door to use the popular LS1 TB's.

This a picture of a 90mm LSX TB.

What are you going to do about cruise control? I know some ls1's have a secondary cable for cruise. And some are electronic. Will your cruise dtl work?

This initial setup will not support Cruise. At some point I intend to reflash the PCM to be a manual trans without a TCM and I'll see if the DBW function can also be eliminated or maybe switch to a 4.7 PCM. Time will tell what works.
