DBW is the way to go. Much better to set up for engine mods (Cams). You can have better Throttle Response with DBW

TunedbyFrost sells pcms for the LQ9 I believe, plus while you are at it you can get them to do a mailorder tune on it before they send it to you.

get a dyno tune!! mail order tunes arent 100% accurate!! go to ebay and get you a stock pcm then take the car to gforce and get it dyno tuned..youl get every ounce of power out of it and the tune will be safe!!

DBW has a lot less issues and the hardware last for a long time. I see trucks with 200K on the OE T-Body.
