Wiring difference 5.3 DBW and LS1 DBW throttle? Going with a WS6store ASA cam on my L33, has LS6 intake but still using stock throttle body. I require a DBW throttle body to retain cruise control. I know the TPS and butterfly motor connections are separate on the LS1 throttle body, but are the signals all the same? Can I just source the pigtails I need and rewire?

From what I understand, no they are not. Has something to do with the opening of the blades and that they will only open to like 70%.
I ran into this with my truck, it uses FBW. I put a 92MM FBW on my Vic Jr but it went from a 6 wire to an 8 wire, I thought I could just get an adapter but when I called CBM they said they would not work, wouldnt get the signal properly or something.
They said I had to have this;

to make it work. Bought it and it works as advertised, very happy with it although it was pricey!
