No drivability issues what so ever the iron blocks are only 57-100lbs heavier than the aluminium block 6.0's The reason i went with the iron block is i am running a 200 shot of NO2 with plans on boost.

Got cruise control working! Now to finish up on the stock cluster and make sure the factory tach is working correctly through out the RPM range but just a quick plug and play seems to be reading the same as the computech datamaxx that i have installed

im not on drive by wire im running the a throttle cable with with 102mm FAST throttle body i used the dakota digital #CRS-3000 with the HND-2 dash mount switch no need for vacuum needed for this unit and i have it tucked away and built into my harness as well. The company i work for is a dakota digital dealer which is why im testing some of their products to help us guys out with keeping our luxury items like cruise. Should have a finalized system for a plug and play for the factory tach by first of next week.

Its just a coulpe of wires that read off the VSS signals and the dakota digital unit uses a electric servo to control the throttle body here is a picture of the unit. It retails for 245.00 with your choice of handle and i used the dash mounted one that is located under the dash but going to order a second unit to tear apart to connect with the factory steering wheel buttons.

There is no need for brackets you can buy a 240 pedal like i did and it bolts right in

Good info on the 240 pedal Brew, can't wait to see how the CC works out. I lost mine to the anti-lag setup and don't miss it often, but the year I went to ZdayZ it would have been nice to have.

I had plans of being at zdayz last year but i was waiting on my tune but expect me to be there this year with all the rest of the crazy alabama guys. She already knew how to drive a manual and this car is so easy to drive i taught my 18yr old cousin how to drive a manual with in 10 min without stalling out once.

Drove to work with cruise on 80 the whole way its a simple unit to install, and with no vacuum lines makes things simple and clean.
