    They can be had for the same price as a N* if you know how to shop.

    Got mine for 50 smackers The sensors raped me though LOL LS1 IAC was $120, TPS was like $75 I think...and the LQ4 MAF was about $60 shipped...never driven a car with the N* and I don't plan to because if I ever do another TB upgrade (to another L67 car) it'll be a LS1.

    FYI...I went from chirping the tires at 20-30 to leaving marks at 40

    Did you have the blower matched to the TB? I'm considering one day doing a TB upgrade. Not sure if it'd ever be needed since I already have a ported L67 TB from Reptile, but it's nice to see what's on the table.

    You can get them from any place that sells them, lol. Look around for LS1 parts or check eBay. It requires an adapter plate.

    Drive by wire is electronic (same as fly by wire). You're thinking of "cable driven".

    You have to get a custom adapter plate. It wasn't cheap



    Then you will need a LS1 TPS, aftermarket MAF (LS1 or LQ4), and a LS1 IAC. All those together are more then the TB...I think all together it will run you prolly 300-500 if you know how to shop around

    It is worth it though...

    And Sabre...I have the blower port matched...M90 case = Large opening like vagine of wizard
