Default LS swaps

I've always read when you do a swap, you need to marry up your PCM, DBW throttle body, TAC module, and APPS for things to work properly.

I just found out about this X-link (http://www.torquerush.com) that allows you to change from a 3-bolt DBW TB to a 4-bolt DBW TB and retain full throttle range and cruise control.

Any of you guys ever used this or know someone that has and did they have positive results?

This would affect mostly LQ4 and LQ9 swaps.

I have a 2006 LQ4/T56 going into a 1973 Corvette. I have a 2010 Camaro LS3 intake and LS3 heads. I was going to use a ported and polished 3-bolt 75mm DBW TB with an adapter for the LS3 intake. I've read several threads that stated the 75mm is too small for this combo.

I just found this X-link that enables me to use an LS3 DBW TB. So I'm doing research to see if this is worth it.

I am using DBC. Many here are using crate engines. To get a better cross section of LSX experience, you would probably be better served by a dedicated forum such as http://ls1tech.com/forums/conversions-hybrids-28/
