It is my assumption that with an LS swap, it also require a pedel swap. I you pick up a salvaged LS, I was told that you also need to be sure to grap the pedel setup for that reason alone. I also think that you can pick on up on by itself if neccessary. I did not go the LS route but is simply my undestanding of the setup. Good luck

I went the easiest route with an F-body PCM, throttle body, and LS6 intake from an 01-02 F-body.

Not sure about the others, but the C5's throttle response was surprisingly quick. I know the newer impalas and buicks you can stab the pedal to WOT and back off without the car ever making a single extra RPM.

Factory throttle cable works with very little effort.
