LS guru's, I found an 04 5.3 LS for my swap complete with motor/tranny/ECM/harness for $1700 with 105k miles and it is drive by wire. Also it is close enough to me to drive out and pick it up. My only question is should I try to find one that is DBC for simplicity and good throttle response or is DBW just as good? I'm a burnout kind of guy so does the DBW hesitate if it senses wheels slipping or is that just with traction control? Thanks.
