What throttle body is every one using? I bought an ls1 intake to clear my hood, I have the stock truck intake and throttle body, can I just use it?
Also what do you guys all suggest for an external fuel pump? I have a cell and used to have an a1000 for my carb set up, I'd prefer to just do another external pump on the frame rail like before.

i am unsure honestly, that is a new engine and an older harness
really the only difference is the crank and cam pickup i believe, but here is the fun part, if one is drive by wire and one is drive by cable there is huge differences.
the ecu will not work at all, you might be able to totally repin some things
short answer is no, it wont work, but that does not mean that after hours of work and an ECU swap and more tuning and changing **** around that it wont eventually work or that you cant make it work...

Especially if you're using any aftermarket standalone ecu. Rumor has it that nobody wants to mess with drive by wire setups due to liability issues. Also some racing sanctions will only allow cable throttle body's with return spring requirements. Not a huge issue but just in case you want to run it down the track, that's one area you'll be ready.
I priced out using a stock ecu, buying a psi harness, and an hp tuners suite and that put me within the ballpark of the MS3 gold.

Im running a th350 and a gen 3 intake manifold with dbc. Ill buy it if he can give me a few weeks to get the money. I have a complete gen 3 fbody ecu and harness if you know anyone interested. Also have another gen3 fbody intake and throttle body taking up space for sale or trade too. Open to offers and if I can sell these two items I'll buy your buddys microsquirt and ecu setup.

Ok, so I am running the stock truck intake with the dbw, not the dbc. So does your buddy have an ecu for dbw that works with the microsquirt? If so I need to buy that. Thx

What would be the easiest route to make my setup work. Parts are all ordered except for my ecu/harness. Holly efi systems are really pricey, just looking for a good reliable setup. I apretiate your help.

Denmah, the fuel pump/relay/wiring setup on the 2500 build? Twin walbro 400s, 70 amp relay jumped off the stock fuse box location. You said you thought the wiring was an issue and replaced all of it, then figured out it was too small of a relay. Do you think the stock wiring is good enough for this same setup as long as there's a bigger relay?
