Looks like it will be a beast! Any updates?

I'm also looking into doing an LS3 swap and wondering what your thoughts are on the drive by wire versus cable throttle?

Looks good, you'll have to post some more pic's! I have a customer who is currently looking to purchase an ATI ProCharger from me for his 3rd gen LS1 combo. Bob

not a huge fan of the throttle by wire, to me its just more things to break, and the responce is not as good as a cable. however, you cannot run a cable throttle on a ls3. you have to convert the reluctor ring on the crankshaft and cam sensor so you can run the earlier ecu. kinda a bitch, but when we do a build, we make shure we know what the customer wants, and build acordingly.
if your car is running, and has throttle by wire, well so be it, but i do perfer the cable style.
