Default Truck throttle body with Car pedal?

I may have jumped the gun ordering a few parts for my swap. I have a truck DBW throttle body an E38 ECU. I am swapping this with a Gen IV 5.3 into a Porsche 944, with manual transmission. So now I am thinking I will need a corvette M6 cal on the E38 rather than a truck cal since the trucks never came with a manual. So my question is this, is the 08 throttle body from a truck going to work with the corvette Cal and corvette pedal?

Thanks!

It seems the throttle bodies are interchangeable, but the pedal needs to match the calibration. Car calibration needs to have a car pedal, and truck calibration needs a truck pedal. This seem correct?

Talk with PSI, Jon. He programed my E38 for vet pedal GM P/N 15865791(PSI P/N ACC-1007) to work with the GM Throttle body that came with LY6 2009 Express Van Engine (P/N on TB RME87-3A0760)

As far as I understand it, all Gen IV pedals are interchangeable.

Just to follow up on this post in case anyone ever needs this information. The easiest route to go if you plan on using a LS6 intake manifold on your gen IV 5.3, and still want to use a DBW throttle body is to get a three bolt to four bolt throttle body adapter, and then mount a Ls3 or truck style DBW throttle body. If you use the Ls3 throttle body you will need a C6 corvette gas pedal. If you use a truck throttle body you will need a 07 and up pedal. No TAC module is needed. Hope this helps someone.

You are correct. I used a C6 Corvette Pedal with my 2009 E38 and L92 Escalade throttle body. They are NOT a direct swap as some others have eluded to. 1st you need to swap pins D and F on your truck pedal harness. This will get it to open and close but response time will be jacked up. 2nd, you need to load Corvette parameters for the C6 pedal and all should be good.
