Default EFI, convert from DBWire to cable?...

Putting the LS EFI into a drag race Vega.... Want the throttle cable set up/NOT/DBWire. I see vendors list the cable set-up but it looks incomplete.... Anyone done this?... OR can I just find a complete used cable set-up and exchange it with the DBWire unit in the stock location?...Ignorant but learning... Mike

Default computor...

Being ignorant, I'd imagine I'll have to use the computer that comes with the stock cable setup. Why would this make a difference????, wouldn't the computer read the throttle position, no matter which computer is used?.....Like I say.... "ignorant", but learning?.....This LS setup is going into a older Vega drag race only car to replace a tired 350 motor. Guess I'm old fashioned, but I'd like some kind of positive return spring on the F. Injection... (Might even be a requirement from NHRA)...Can always use the carb from the 350.... But the FI tune ability appeals to me.

That is exactly what you want to do Mike. Use a computer from a Camaro, etc, with a cable throttle. Or an aftermarket ECU like BS3, FAST or Holley.
