oh thats that's not so hard lol. This is pretty easy. What made it easy for me was to pull off the black panel and took out the 2 bolts holding the gas pedal. May not even need to pull black panel if you can reach the 2 bolts. Gives you all kinds of room to install the plug. It really is pretty easy.

Have you guys gone to their webpage and read the install? You dont need a video for this one...its as easy as they come....here is their instructions the bottom panel is nothing to remove...
THROTTLE CONTROLLER - CORVETTE C6 ( 2006-2013 )
Instruction on how to install:
- Switch off the car for at least 5 minutes and key off.
- Make sure the car is on the Parking position or Neutral.
- Push your driver seat all the way to the back to
give you enough room to access under the dashboard.
- Remove the plastic panel under the dash to have
an easier access to your Gas pedal harness.
- Unplug the Harness on top of your Gas Pedal (First you will
need to push up the securing gray pin using a flat screw
driver, after that while squeezing in the middle of
the harness, pull the harness upward by holding the plastic
connection, not the wires !
- Now you can plug the harness that comes with the controller, male to female and female to the Gas pedal harness.
The optional yellow and blue wires on the main unit w
ill not be used now. (Brakes / Launch Control option)

He needs to update the programming instructions in that pdf.
The part about seeing "100" on the display after pressing the accel all the way down and then hitting the "A" btn is not right. When I installed the unit yday the word "SET" appeared at that point.

Really no need to have a video , its that easy
1- remove access panel under the steering wheel, two torx screws
2- unclip the truck and gas door release buttons from the panel, move panel out of the way
3- remove 2 13 mm bolts that hold the gas pedal to its mount
4- remove grey plastic locking clip on the pedal connection
5- unplug the harness from the pedal
6- plug in the controller harness into the pedal , reinstall locking clip
7-plug in car harness that WAS hooked to the pedal into the controller
8- snake the controller keypad wire up to where ever you are mounting it to on the dash
9- mount the keypad on dash
10 find a suitable place under the dash to mount the control box (I mounted mine next to the steering column with some double face tape)
11- clean up the wires , I wire tied everything nicely
12- Follow the instructions to calibrate the unit
13 If you are " GAME" set it to SP9 and LOOK OUT --- AND HAVE FUN .....
all in all it should take you no longer than 30 minutes start to finish , I bet now that I have done it I could do it in 10 minutes

all its doing is reading the voltage value at the low point and then again at the high point
you have to press the A first and then press the pedal down
maybe you need to recalibrate it ?
Press and hold simultaneously the 2 buttons ( A + B ) on the Controller's remote until a count down is finished ( 3 - 2 - 1 - 0 ) then the letter L and a digit next to it ( Low voltage value ).
-
Now press the left button (A) once, it will show H and a digit next to it ( High voltage value ), now you need to press the gas pedal all the way down with your foot, while still holding it down push again (A) once and it will show 100.

That's funny as I got the "LXX" LOW" value first , then I got the " HXX" High value after pressing the A button and pressing the pedal to the floor which was 100%
all its doing is reading the voltage value at the low point and then again at the high point

Yes sir ....
its funny that you had problems with the high side as I had problems with the low , when I pressed both buttons the controller would not count down 3 2 1 . I unplugged everything and then plugged it all back in and then it programed correctly
been working fine ever since so maybe I just did not have the connectors seated all the way

The first step is wrong.
You actually take off the panel above the pedals. It is held by 3 push pins. No need to take the panel off with the torx screws

Just got mine installed and it is awesome. Way too long with the inherent throttle lag. Now it's like an old school V8.
I had to call Ahmed because I did not get the 100 either. He said after 2 calls that his engineer calibrated it at the shop
Seems to work ok. Said to call within 2 weeks if any problems. None so far.

No it will have no effect on the tune at all. All this does it tell the computer that you are pushing more on the throttle pedal than you really are. That is all it does. Basicly if you push 1/4 down on the pedal than rather that signal going to the throttle body it first goes through the aftermarket controller. Then the controller pretty much lies to the throttle body and tells it that you are 1/2 way down on the pedal. It's not like some of those so called chips that plug between the IAT sensor and wire and send false timing and fuel info to the ecm.
Exactly, save some $$$ and wear a heavier shoe.

So after reading on the forums about all the throttle lag a C6 has I bit the bullet and bought a Vitesse Motorsports Throttle Controller as it has gotten so many good write ups here.
Took about 30 minutes from start to finish to install
Then like a real man, when I went on my test drive I set it in the highest setting SP9
When I mashed the throttle, I proceeded to scare the crap out of myself as the car, with my brand new very expensive Michelin Pilot Sports laid down two of the longest and darkest black marks on the street all while pulling like a freight train and swaying from side to side !
(traction control was on)
All I can say is WOW !
After wiping the smile off of my face I finally backed it down to SP6 as this seemed like the best balance of power to traction
I am sure my car is not any faster than before but it sure gets there a heck of a lot faster ...
This thing is great because unlike a throttle tune you can adjust it on the fly
I have no affiliation with this company but if you are on the fence about buying a throttle controller or even a throttle tune I am here to tell you DO IT !
It feels like a I am driving a different car and it is much more enjoyable!

Another way to look at it, is this offers a reasonably affordable, easily reversible, plug-and-play way to allow driver-specified dynamic throttle response settings much like many modern high-end performance automobiles offer.
I happen to use a few different settings depending on driving conditions and I appreciate the ability to fine tune the throttle response to normal surface streets, heavy traffic, open highway cruising, autocross or road course track duty as I see fit to match my preferred driving style in each situation. Of course, I may also choose to lay down some rubber occasionally as well. The main point being it is now MY choice rather than GM's how the car responds to my throttle inputs.
