Electric or cable throttle body?
 
I'm currently working on my 06 Silverado 2wd 2dr going from a 4.8 4l60 to a 6.0 4l80.
Just installed a 231/239 cam with double Springs and rebuild the 4l80 with a 36k circle D converter. Got motive 411 and Eaton positive traction. Going with a Procharcher D1sc and meth kit. My question is whats better the electric throttle body or should I go cable? My other question is what knn can I use for my D1sc?

Well you can't just slap a cable TB on a DBW truck and hope for the best, there are other things involved to maybe make it work. The DBW computer would have to have IAC drivers in it to possibly control the cable TB.

Would it be worth it to go cable or should I stay electric? Is it better cable for tune or is it the same for electric?

Tuning the DBW is just as easy to me anyway.

For some, at a very high horsepower mark does the DBW stuff get in the way with maxxing out airflow limits inside the computer but it's doubtful you will ever reach that point with just a 6.0 motor and procharger.
