Mine is DBW. TrailBlazer pedal. I believe the TAC module is from the same vehicle. It was plug & Play with the CPW harness. Cruise works fine.

This is the bracket Harley made for the pedal. It will not fit 98+ I believe. Even then we had to tweak it a bit and bend the pedal towards the hump.

This was the aluminum prototype with the pedal attached. The final version was powder coated steel.

I'll have to take a pic of the TAC module tomorrow. It fits where the current cruise unit is, and even uses the same holes. @Harley an explain how we got the wire harness for it thru the fire wall with a grommet to seal it.

In this pic, you can see where the wires come thru the firewall in a grommet just above the cover.

If you can can you take some pictures of your setup and post them I would most appreciate it. I'm going to order the wiring harness and accessories from current performance for the swap. I'm picking the engine up Wednesday it's out of an 03 Yukon with the tac module and gas pedal and ECU.
Make sure you have everything you're going to use since the harness is made to your specs.
Nice....what intake are you running?
UPS finally showed up with my 243 heads yesterday now I can get them off to the machine shop.

Unless the inspection guy crawls down by the manifolds like a snake, he'd never see the Hooker name.

It's a bit tight, and you'd be better off making your own lines. I got my high mount to work.

The thing that's going to suck is there isn't much room even if the ports are in the back. These poke right out of the side and take up a lot of room...even with short drop hose fittings. You can't clock these compressors. I wonder if the compressor Connor94 used would help with hose routing.

Edit:....after a closer look, there's even less room in the rear.
Just for comparison purposes, here's mine...same compressor in with the Holley High mount kit.

Did you go with the bushings or captured bearings?
Me too...
Just finished up lapping the valves in the other head. I'm amazed by how much carbon was in the intake ports. It took about 30 minutes each port to clean out all the carbon with a Dremel and a stainless steel wire wheel. The PCV set up on the ls really sucks. These heads came off a non EGR motor. Or whoever owned it before didn't ever change your oil so it thinned out and vaporized and got sucked up by the PCV into the intake. Only God knows.
I tried cleaning mine up...no joy. I took them to NAPA for a disassemble, bath, and new seals....lap if needed.$150 and squeaky clean. Installed a catch can also.
