    I did a search, couldn't find anything. The drive-by-wire is very laggy and I'm just sick of the hesitation at start and I'm tired of hitting the rev limiter when I'm beating on it. ( I let off the gas 2-300 rpm below redline, and it continues revving for half a second after that so it hits the rev limiter and loses all power). Everyone who borrows my truck that drive standards on a daily basis stall my truck when starting because of the hesitation. Sometimes I'll even shift too fast for the truck to keep up with me and itll fall flat on its ass in the bottom of the next gear because the throttle isn't open. I don't think it would be hard to swap to an actual cable, unless the tps is integrated with it ( I'm pretty sure it ain't) I'm just wonderIng if there's a kit or if anyone has done it before

    I would think this would require some massive reprogramming of the computer. I don't imagine it would be cheap.
