But, wouldn't that mean you'd have to send your LTX8 to Microtech to have your LTX8 re-configured to accept the cross-brand TPS? ie. Stock > GM

No, most TPS's are 0 - 5v output, this includes the stock FC one, FD one, DSM one, GM ones etc. The brand of the sensor doesn't matter as long as the output is the same.

Only reason as to why I thought you'd have to send your LT8 back for re-configuration Is b'c you have to specify what TPS and other Sensors (GM or Stock) Is going with the LT8 at the time of purchase.

The only reason you have to specify sensors is incase they have different outputs. Most TPS's have the same output. If you are setup for a FC TPS you can use a FD, or a GM one also.

you can use a switch or any variable tps it dosent matter what it is, the microtech supplys the voltage to it,

you can change the TPS when ever you want!
