Ernie, What do you guys use for the throttle body on a LS7 motor? Do you convert to a manual cable throttle body or keep the fly by wire?
thanks, | |

I will be running a modified LS-1 engine in my coupe. FBW throttle body and reporgrammed ECU. It will use the throttle actuator control module (TAC)
GM part number 12574221 (2000-2002 Caddy, GMC, Chevy 2wd truck applications).
this is a "plug-in" system. I'm convinced that this is far easier than running throttle a cable, and more "drivable". Your comments Fran? | |

Better get the wets out and take the wings off.....or else you could be flying..instead of driving.

Looks like the rain might pass us by and let us have some fun. We have some big dollars locked in for the track session. We have been working on the car for another 7 days straight 12 hrs a day for this session.

fooking brilliant..... Do you intend to race this car in any championship?....if yes........i wont have the cheek to dare to ask what sort of set up are you starting at, driver, wheels, tyres, geo, ride etc etc.... or indeed are you with a street legal package...?
;-)
good work Ernie.....thought briefly about flying out to have a look.....are you on the oval or running in field also.....
thanks | |
