Default Cow booster awesome

Was at the C5-C6 Bash this weekend and had Chuck from Corvettes of
Westchester install his throttle booster into my Z06. The go pedal is
so much more responsive, it makes the heal-toe maneuver so much
easier and precise. Once you adjust to it, I think it will be great for
the track. If you are at the Bash yet on Sunday, find Chuck and have him do his thing, I think you will like it, and he can adjust the sensitivity to your liking. He's staying at the motel across the street from entrance drive A. His tunes are top notch also.

What exactly is it? Something that plugs into the throttle position sensor?

No, it is actually a reprogram of the throttle positon software, giving the gas pedal a more linear control of the throttle blade, almost like converting the car from drive by wire to the old direct connection of gas pedal to carburator.

Ah, that's what I suspected. Thanks.
