I want to get ride of mine its useless with as much power as im making.
anyone now how to switch it out. would like to get ride of the control modual to save weight.
i see the people with just cruise have two cables going to the trottle body. mine has two cables to a cylider thinggy (control modual) then one cable back to the throttle body.

i think somthing might be different with the rear end too.
