Default Throttle Response Switch?

What is inside of these switches? I was thinking that it was probably just a relay that cut on at about 3.25vdc, 70% throttle, and allowed the full 5vdc to be passed on to the computer to tell it to go to WOT mode. Does anybody have any thoughts on this? If I'm correct, you can probably make one of these for under $10 instead of paying $99 for one. :smash:

What that switch does is give you WOT at 75% throttle opening. Why not just floor the car to get WOT performance. That's why nobody buys it. Save your money and time for another project. :yesnod:

I agree with Raysur. Save your money for something else. You will gain 0 horsepower from this mod. So why bother?

Sorry about that. I just reread your post and my reply didn't answer your question one bit.
