Default LS1 cable to DBW advice

Hi guys i have a LS1 cable driven car (VY hsv clubsport)
i'm looking to convert it to DBW
looking for as much advice as possible please i'm quite stuck..

i have asked for help on LS facebook pages and everyone is trying to tell me im wrong for wanting to do it but the goal is a nice clean engine bay...

please don't tell me about lag i'm not to worried its getting a turbo anyway so what is abit more lag

i have a 6.0ltr ve ss (g8) so i know what im getting into..

i want to go dbw to get rid of the traction/cruise control modules (im shaving my engine bay) in Australia i still need to retain these functions to get the car legal.

I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section.
and thanks in advance for all help and advice.

Youll need a matching pedal, TAC and throttle body and ECU. Everything else can pretty much remain the same.

If you're running a 411 cable ecu, it can be reprogrammed for DBW.
Your best bet would be looking for pedal, TAC, and TB from a DBW 01-02 corvette.
Most of the pinouts are the same, but note changes in the heated O2 sensors and clutch pedal position switch differences between DBW and cable.

Don't mean to jack the thread but, could I use a dbw tb and pedal from the 01 vette using a 411 pcm?
