hey guys, i've got an all aluminum LS1 out of a 99 camaro and my rcsb has a 4.8 with the drive by wire setup. Do i swap to the cable setup or go with a better wire setup? Has anyone heard of this swap being done? Am I just wasting my time and money on this swap. Ive also got the trans and harness out of the car. Thanks for any info

Put your truck intake, accessories on it and roll. Naturally your gona need a tune..

 

For what it's worth... I HATE drive by wire. However, you already have it, so I'd just put it back on, get a tune, and push on the skinny pedal.

 

no one has ever done this. you will be the first.

 

Thanks guys, I know this engine is stouter so I figured i'd be happier trying to get more out of the ls1 versus throwing money at the 4.8

 

Youd be surprised what the 4.8 can do.

 

Im confused are you swapping a NBS truck or a 67-72 ??

 

The 72 is a stalled project at the moment. All I wanted with it was to be a reliable/drivable show truck. But now I have this NBS and would like more power out of it. I had a Nnbs and I sold it due to owing too much money and was very disappointed in the "lack" of power. I want this nbs to sound like my old 383 in my k5 and also mess with some mustangs!
