Throttle body, why cable driven and not drive by wire?

On the YouTube series you published spring 2021, you used a throttle body that was cable driven. Why cable driven and not drive by wire? If I wanted to set up my LS in a similar fashion as the one you displayed on YouTube, do I just order a 92mm TB that is drive by wire?

Hey there! Thanks so much for watching the series!

We used a cable throttle solution for simplicity especially on the engine dyno.

If you want to use drive by wire on your application you would just get the appropriate throttle body, wiring harness, and pedal for it.

Thanks for using 2CarPros!

Best,
Ryan
