You need a completely different operating system & harness. Idk why you would want to change to electric. The cable TB is easier & cheaper to swap around and typically easier to tune. F-body LS1 DBC TB is 78mm, LS6 DBW is 80mm, & some DBC 6.0 truck TB's are 80mm well. The 2 or 3 HP (if that) doesn't warrant the price in the swap. Just because it came off of an LS6 doesn't make it the end all be all performance part. I see & hear so many people wanting to put bone stock 243 castings (LS6) heads on their cars or trucks thinking it'll be a huge gain when in reality they only gain maybe 10 rwhp. That's not much HP for the $ spent to do the swap.
