Drive by cable to DBW
i have an 82 c10 that has a 5.3l out of a 2000 gmc sierra with a drive by cable throttle body, for me to do a NNBS intake swap, wouldn't that force me to run a DBW TB? or can i use my throttle body on a NNBS intake manifold?

Buy aftermarket TB. DBW sucks ***** and the effort as far as programming harness changes and getting a correct TAC,PCM, pedal combo is a real PITA unless you pirate a existing running complete setup. I'd go to DBC in a heart beat on my NNBS truck if I could

X2. A cable has worked great for over a century. The wire is the absolute worst thing in my opinion to come to a vehicle. There are too many problems and parts to go wrong. If you don't believe me, ask the families of the dead Toyota owners when their cars accelerated out of control.

yeah, i think i will either buy an aftermarket 4 bolt drive by cable throttle body or make/buy an adapter. i didn't wan't to convert to DBW at all, i really couldn't do that actually...
there are a lot of ebay 4 bolt drive by cablee throttle bodies like this one
http://www.ebay.com/itm/GM-LS1-LS2-L...791753&vxp=mtr
but i dont see a plug for the throttle position sensor, the holley throttle body has the plug, but it's also $400 that i'm not willing to pay for the holley name...
