DBW Throttle body

I'm sure dbw can be made to work well. But there can be stumbling blocks. Cable is so much more simple. Jmho
I have drive by wire on my L92. It is snappy and very responsive. No regrets. If someone is experiencing a ”lack in response” then it’s not wired up correctly. Most all new cars today use DBW…..
DBW can be faster, just depends on the ramp rate that's programmed.
GM usually programs the response to be slow. AKA if you ask for 75% throttle it might only give you 50% throttle. It's usually for trans/driveline longevity.
DBC is more simple though. I have DBW on my swap and although it makes cruise control wiring easy and clean, if you modify the engine and go to boost or speed density there is a lot of safety related cutout tables that will kill the throttle if it thinks there is an issue.

Thanks for the input. What type of intake are you using on your L92?
The factory shaved Escalade intake. It flows better than the LS3 intake 👍🏻
Is throttle responsiveness your concern or max HP? NA or power adders installed?
It's a NA L92 for now, I would like to have both if possible. I was just looking for input to help decide which route to go. DBW or DBC, Whats your opinion?
The factory 90mm DBW throttle body is a nice piece. If you go with cable what do you plan to use? $$$$
