as for all the electronics talk, i did go to college for a bit for electrical engineering so sometimes i get carried away. later today ill look over your situation and all and see what can be done and how, and even draw up a wiring diagram. itll give me something to do, lol
I dont think I need a diagram per-se. I will be doing this with all factory components. I just need to figure out if I can do the mechanicals with factory parts, without making anything custom. I was confused about using a switch etc. on a cable. Why would I need that when you said at the bottom I can just use a vette pedal.
I may wind up throwing this all out the window if I cant get the engine, intake, throttle body and air cleaner under a flat hood. That is why I want to see if I can get a vette oil pan on the engine in my WTB post. If I cant get it under a flat hood then I will just go front loading intake and Ill just go gen IV and be done with it all. As Scott always says "do you homework", I figure I will start mocking stuff up come spring time and I have plenty of time to sit in the house and read now.
Going back to the DBW. I would guess on the DBW TB the stepper motor is connected directly to the blade shaft. I doubt I would be able to get something like that adapted to my setup very easy. That is why I am trying to figure out if the C5 LS1 had a TB like the Gen IV, or if it had an external motor with a cable, like the f-body has for cruise. If I can use the cruise motor I think it would be ideal. I can use a cable from the motor to the TB and since the 4150 is a replacement for the LS1 TB the cams for the cable on either TB should be similar ratios? That would allow for less calibration for the ECM in theory.
