    DBW-DBC conversion (LS2) [solved]

    Hi all, Does anyone know how in-depth it is to hack the LS2 in the SS to run a cable throttle? The delay in the software is driving me nuts and making precise control a real chore (perhaps there's a hidden setting/safety exacerbating the delay? I do intend to reflash the PCM in the near...

    New throttle body

    I need to replace my throttle body on my 06 Calais and I was just wondering would I need to get it tuned after I change it? I'm thinking of going to the wreckers and getting one from an old VZ would that make any difference from buying a brand new one?
