Te big question is: How much of that can be applied to pro-touring type swaps as opposed to OE 6L's such as C6 vettes, G8's, etc. The answer is coming.

As for this particular application--LS7 with GM ECU and 4L, you will need the following to have it all (cruise control and paddle shift):
-GM ECU with trans type parameter set to M6 (not A4)
-M6 harness
-Compushift with standalone transmission harness
-ShrifterŽ Paddle Shifter
-Aftermarket standalone cruise control such as Rostra aftermarket unit.

And I strongly recommend one of our MuscleDrive converters to take advantage of the LS7.
I stand corrected and great awnser.
