We have put an LS3 crate engine into one of our offroad cars.The engine is in the rear facing backwards.The throttle body is the fly by wire type and the wiring is not long enough to reach the pedal.The installation instructions state we cannot change the length of the wiring,would guess due to resistance issues.Does anyone know a way round this?Also the engine came with auto flex plate attached,so is obviously set up as an auto,which now as a split second delay on throttle response when backing off.The car is now a manual and we need it to shut off instantly,can this be corrected with software mods?Thanks in advance for any info.Regards,Steve.

Hi you can alter the wiring length just do it correctly , you csn also turn the intake round as it will go either way round . You can tune the motor with EFI live etc to set it all up correctly as you probably won't be using four 02 sensors etc , give me a ring if you need any help craig 01217530415
