I know it's not a hotrod, but it NEEDS a little bit of throttle response. I don't care what anybody says... this drive-by-wire BS decides if and when it wants to open that throttle body. At least, a slightly less restrictive path to that tb should give it a little more snap right off idle?

If not, it still looks cool. :twothumbsup:

Check out http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=108587

Black Bear Performance. One of the best in the country, there coming to Pitt in April for a tuning event. Read up on it. They can virtually eliminate the problem your having via tune, better MPG, etc etc.

Lol damn queer chevys.

That drive by wire stuff isn't that bad, I kind of got used to it, my moms mazda has it and obviously so does my dads f150. I always thought they said the computer will learn to an extent how you drive and adjust the sensitivity etc to you. But that could also be a bunch of bs too lol.

Nice intake adam, you look at any tires for it yet? Or you holding off on them.

i have the drive-by-wire LS2 throttle body on my 'Vette and i sure don't have any issues with it.... then again, if its somethign that can be taken care of by a tune, then that would be why

i have dbw on my 05 2500hd. no problems here with the dbw.. torque management is more depressing. i added the k&n and noticed a tad more midrange. no real milage gains. but it sure does sound alittle better when i get on it. i tried the diablosport predator and i'm actually not dissapointed. i gained alittle power. nicer firmer shifting and anywhere from 1-3ish mpg gain depending on conditions. now i need an exhaust
