DBC vs DBW. Pros & cons

Opportunity may present itself in the way of a lien vehicle and while I had convinced myself I would tackle a dbw setup I think this one is DBC.

The only real big deal that isn't that big if a deal is cruise control is way easier on a dbw from what I gather. So what else? Price is going to make it tough to walk away from this one but if I am better off dbw then I can wait.

The rest of its benefits come in the way of programability by a good tuner. You can make functional changes to pedal sweep, input to output mapping etc.

If you are getting a new harness, you could always swap to a DBW...

You also can pick up a JY DBC cruise module pretty cheap. It's not that much harder to setup.

It's a wash.... Neither is that hard, cruise control isn't hard on either.

I'd vouch for DBW with the added benefit of being able to really customize the mounting position and angle of the pedal.

Re: DBC vs DBW. Pros & cons

Well if the mileage is descent on this rig and I can get it for a price that I think I can I'm not going to let this be an issue cause I can recoup enough money parting out the rest to help wash some costs.

Then I can figure out the cruise control and other things
