so after reading quite a bit along with your comments here I don't think the carb helps with anything. As stated I still need some kind of controller for the coil packs, so if I gotta do that I might just as well do the stand alone harness that will allow me to run the FI. My son's buddy supposedly has a wrecked truck with low mileage 5.3 that can hear run (my son not me lol) for $600. Trying to find out what year/ version it is now. Am i understanding correctly that the 01-02 models are better for this type of conversion? Thinking I should stick with cable driven.

Another question is am I still able to run the factory dash cluster or will the gauges not work with the ls senders? I read something about still having to have an inline vss something plugged into the harness with the manual transmission to keep it from stalling?
