My Wilson dominator throttle body has mechanical linkage. Turns out I can add a throttle drive motor (the Trans Am TA1 guys use them on their 900hp NASCAR motors) and a DBW throttle, coupled with the strain gauge input, to get a programable auto-blip through the MoTec ECU. My motor is so far back that I had to go to C6 transaxle linkage from the back of the transmission forward to a remote shifter so it would be in the proper location close to the steering wheel. Parts are ordered and there is a 4-5 week build time for the transmission, so I've got a little time to make the necessary mods. Here is a link to the 6XD website: https://www.6xdgearbox.com/

This is absolutely fabulous and fasinating information that is so rarely talked about
