Throttle Performance Switch
I tried a search but couldn't find anything on this mod.
Will someone please tell me exactly, if anything, what a throttle performance switch does? Here's the description and the link:

It sounds okay, but I want to make sure that it will accomplish what they claim it will. Has anyone installed one on their C4? The description says that it's not recommended for use with computer chips. Why would that be?

Our Throttle Performance Switch will provide an immediate improvement in throttle response and the maximum amount of fuel and timing advance. Best of all, installation is a direct plug-in to the throttle position sensor and requires no tools! Great for any stock or modified engine. Does not affect idle and is 50 state legal. Instructions included. Not recommended for use with computer chips or programmers. Instructions included.

If you want to go 100% throttle, put your foot down.

I love these current ads for the Fram equivalent to the FIPK that K&N sells...
These morons in their trucks making all these silly engine noises, boasting about how much more powerful it feels... it is making additional noise when floored, it's utterly amazing how that extra air honk makes people think they have more power.

I meant I did a search and could not find anything. I'll check out the FAQ section to see what else I can learn. I'm still finding my way around.
