all u need for the swap is a v8 TB and the throttle cable the v6 cable will not work its a pretty easy swap the hardest part is gettin the old cable out of the firewall. for me it was one of the best mods i did besides makin my own air intake and IAT relocation. as far as the injectors go im not 100% sure if theyre gonna work mine is a 00 and they wont on mine

You don't NEED to swap cables. See my post on V-6 to V-8 TB swap without replacing cable. Save the cash for other things. This is of course using a stocker TB.

I have done this. But now I have a question. By using the V8 cable the accelerator pedal now feels lower than before. Is this normal? Any help would be appreciated.

J2ZKota,
The pedal feels "lower"? Is that lower to the floor? There shouldnt be any reason for this, just make sure you have run the V8 cable in a nice smooth arc and that it is not kinked. Mine took a while to break it in, it was a little stiff at first. Maybe yours juat needs to stretch out some. i dont think it is anything to worry about as long as the cable is hooked up right and the pedal does not stick.

Thanks Texas97!
But heres the thing. The pedal does feel lower to floor. I was doing some highway driving and the most I got out of my truck was 90 mph (with the pedal to the floor). Could the cable be too long?
