Not worth it, DBW works great.

You would need a new pcm, new harness, new pedal, all required linkage.

im intrested in this myself because i think i found an ls7 for cheap, and would love it in my 4th gen.

i saw a gto with a throttle cable on it and wondered what it took.
the gto is in the newest GMHTP magazine, april 2010 and the article is "long live the goat" (the fastest IRS gto in the country)

i hope some one will explain all details it would take

I'd think that you would need a different pedal setup along with engine harness and the pcm reprogrammed. Imo not worth it the ls1 gto came eith a cable tb while the ls2 gtos got DBW
