Default LS6 Drive by Wire

I'm working on a LS6 from a CTS-V and it's DBW which I'd like to keep. I'm not sure if I can get the original computer, pedal and the TAC module from the car. Since this is a 24x reluctor engine and the GTO started with the LS2 in 2005 (a transition year for 58x IIRC) will the Corvette TAC and pedals control this LS6? Any others?

Thanks in adavance,

If you want to keep the DBW, I'd think any of the 24x computers would work for you. Even if the computer is from a Camaro, truck, or Corvette, it can be programmed with the right setup to work on that engine.
Otherwise, if you really wanted to use an LS2 computer, than yes, an 05 or 06 GTO computer would work for you just fine. No extra computers for the DBW on the LS2 stuff, but there is an extra computer for an Electric auto trans.

I called Spreartech today and was advised to run a 2003-4 C5 computer, TAC and pedal. I had concerns that shops wouldn't have hptuners for a CTS-V and using a C5 profile should help in that area.
