I'm kept the DBW setup on mine.

but my engine is a ls1 with a cable

I used a 48" Lokar in mine and as you can see I have QUITE A BIT of excess. Over 12" easily.
I'd say get a 36" Lokar, or if you want it for ~1/2 the price, get the Spectre throttle cable.



That picture is so embarrasing from 2007, I cleaned up my engine bay and PC'd everything.

The lokar "ls1" cable is 36 inches I beleive but it is cut to fit really easy to do.

I used one from a 2001 suburban, almost perfect length. Had to modify the hole in the firewall slightly but it works good and looks stock. Cost was just over 50 bucks iirc.

I used an LS1 36" lokar on my first gen.

Yep, cut to fit Lokar. Having it too long/looping can cause binding and excessive friction.
