Default Ls1 to Drive by wire conversion how hard is it to do?

Just as it states how hard is it to convert to a drive by wire TB having issues with the one that I have that is cable driven tried adjusting the cable and still seems a bit like the pedal gets stuck. Just wanted to know what all goes into the conversion and if you guys would recomend it?

I think I saw a thread about this in Conversions & Hybrids that tells you what you need so try doing a search there.

We had that problem with our friends SDPC one. Turned out the hole for the IAC caused the opening to be out of round. All we did was dremel down the two humps on either side of the hole and it works like a charm. Check that out before you change a whole bunch of **** you don't need that will cause more problems in the long run.
