Definately check the throttle cable for smooth operation from closed throttle to WOT. I know some of the V6 Fbody's have the fly by wire setup but as far as I know not the V8's.

up date onmyfriends car . the guy he bought it from didnt have the air cleaneron it .so the t body got gunked up and caused the throttle not to be able to close all the way and the smoke was from the ck valve on the oil line to the turbo being stuck .
