Grrrr... this whole time I am assuming its drive-by-wire, didn't pay attention to the year of the vehicle. Yeah, you need a 90mm cable TB. Good call Tex.

A "drive by wire throttle body" is the electronically controlled throttle body (the 'wire' part of the name is throwing you off). You need a standard cable actuated 90mm throttle body.

Double check that last one before you order anything. Make sure you have the needed belts, hoses, clamps, etc. before you get halfway through the install and get stuck.
really ebay? nothing to worry about with the quality of the product from ebay? any sponsors on here offer them i rather buy them from a company i can actually trust. what about a billet OD servo? trans cooler will order today aswell!

Trans. no question should be #1 on your list. You would SHI$ if you seen what gm puts in their stock. I pulled my tyranny with 8K on the truck before the TVS went on. And we used the best of the best and still had breakage due to the newer Sprag design. We thought was improved over the 60E. I don’t like stalls so far I have gotten away with the stock unit which is already Furnace brazed and had a larger clutch area on the 70E. But 90% of the time I keep it out of lock up. I set my tow haul button up as a converter lock up switch. If you take it easy you may limp it along until you can get the funds for a tyranny. Keep in mind me and my builder are deliberately trying to break stuff, so we can improve or correct whatever breaks.

I have heard of the G80 holding up under a ton of power (I want to say Parish8 had one in his truck for a while, but I could be mistaken). As long as you are smart with it and don't go doing donuts and fishtailing around corners, it will hold up fine. It seems 99% of the time, they fail because of that, not too much power in a straight line. Again, this is what I have read, so please correct me if I am misinformed.
