I got the Lokar Pedal and throttle cable installed. I haven't finished with the cable yet. I wanted to wait until I get a new throttle body before I cut the cable to the length I need.

I installed an LS3 water pump because I wanted to run a shorter upper radiator hose. The hose came off of a 2010+ Camaro. I used 3/4" billet water pump spacers from ICT Billet to line the pulleys up properly. Hopefully this works out okay, because I like not having to run the upper radiator hose all the way across my efans from the passenger side to the driverside.
I still have to figure out where I can put the pcm. I wanted it inside the truck but the length of my wire harness is too short to put it under or behind the seat. I can't find a place to put it under the dash.

I also had comp cams trunion upgrades done on a set of my ls rockers. The kit was part #13702-KIT. I believe I paid $204 for parts and labor.

Didn't I see your single cab for sale awhile ago? Wish I would have grabbed it up.
If you take a look at the clevis on the pedal end of the Lokar throttle cable in the second picture of post #31 you'll be able to see more. The oem pedal rod in post #20 shows the way it faces originally, and in post #21 it shows where I used a mini heat inductor to twist the rod of the oem rod. It would have worked but the feel of the Lokar pedal is much better! And I got a good deal on the pedal. I guess since I used the Lokar throttle cable, I figured I'd use the fancy pedal haha. The oem rod has the hole for the throttle cable running parallel with the firewall and the Lokar cable attaches differently.
I still need to cut the cable to fit but I'm indecided on whether I want to buy a new throttle body for the LS1 intake or throw my TBSS intake on there with a new 90mm dbc throttle body.
