Default Throttle body swap

So I did due diligence and searched, but I didn't find anything so I gave up. Just curious if anybody has ever done, or at least looked into swapping the fly-by-wire throttle setup for a setup that has an actual physical connection between the throttle pedal and throttle body. There are several reasons why I would much rather have a physical throttle, but it seems to be a very laborious swap that requires a bit of R&D. This is my R part of the R&D equation lol. If anybody happens to know what TB would work? what would need to be done to the Stock ecu? I have a haltech, so how that would come into play? How to wire/route the linkage? Etc...

Talk to Adam at Z1, www.z1auto.com i had spoke to him on this subject and found that it was quite difficult. He has a Z that currently is running a cable vs. the fly-by-wire

injected performance also uses a cable TB i think on their race car.

You would have to go with a MOTEC or some other universal stand alone as well to control it.

A Haltech is very capable of handling the job.
