Did you document the process of swapping to a cable driven throttle body? If not, could you?
Shoot never did, it's basically a matter of changing the throttle body and adjusting the tuning. There's a idle air control valve plumbed to the elbow to allow for easier starts, that was added about a month ago and for the first time the car starts up like stock
thanks for the honest answer! I’ve had projects that have taken just as long and spent way too much money on, but I’ve been thrilled with the outcome. Then there are others where I wish I never went down the rabbit hole. I can’t wait to see the final results! I’m sure rooting for you.

basically my mindset is that I'd rather have 1500hp that's dependable enough to drive around all over without worry than than some record number that is always requiring service. I've tried to overbuild every aspect of the car with that in mind

Are you still using the stock pedal? What cable did you use?
you called it ha... At least when it's done it should be perfect.

Stock pedal and a lokar cable. Ill be honest I was never given a picture on how it was done nor got under to look. I assume a bracket was made to attach the cable to the pedal
UPDATE
guess who needs new fuel injectors... This guy.
Filled up with E85 and we thought the secondary's weren't coming on and it was something in the wiring. (My Bosch 2300s were flow tested and cleaned about 6 months ago) Low and behold the wiring is fine and ProEFI is doing it's thing but my injectors are either gummer up or after 5 years quit
ID2600s are ordered, they'll flow 2600cc/min at 43psi and 4195cc/min @ 130psi
Still leaving my 1050x to allow for improved idle and pump gas driving and using all 16 to run E98 from Ignite fuels
Otherwise now I have working fuel level and Fuel pressure gauges! For the first time since the initial build everything on my dash works and is accurate!

That's a lot of fueling for a street car! I've used the Bosch 210's alone for north of 1400whp on E85. They flow closer to 250lb/hr at the pressure we run but still idle and cruise just fine.
Either way cool build! Looking forward to the results when its all sorted out.

Can’t argue there. Only reason I asked is because I’m out of fuel at 1300.
Hopefully I can help as I've been working all this out for almost 2 years. I'm hoping this is the ultimate electric pump driven fuel system.
I'm running ID 1050x and 2600s for injectors. Still working out how to set them up to utilize the secondary injection from proefi.
I have a custom 18 gallon aluminum tank that was reworked to create a sump ansubmerged the return to prevent bubbles and added a larger vent to prevent cavitation.
I'm running the holly dominator pump with a single inlet and outlet.

I dont think the dominator pump is going to meet your goals, its a fairly weak pump for a setup like this. I would skip the fuelmax nonsense too, run a solid pump that will meet your goals.
We dropped the brushless 5gpm pump in place after the eliminator started falling off and haven't had any further issues. As for the Bosch 210’s they flow closer to 250 at 58psi, and close to 280 where we have them at 75psi. As you can see below the pump hardly drops off with increased pressure which is unlike a lot of other pumps on the market.

I remember researching pumps for a while. The Holley seemed like the best option at the time. I hope your Bosch injectors last. Mine died after 5k miles

Like we have talked about in private messages, I think I’m good on the pump side of things I think I’m just maxed out due to the blower and automatic loss. Obviously won’t have this issue with the new turbo set up.
Great idea on the return...thanks for posting that.
