No,

all it does is lie to your computer, telling it the throttle is open more than it really is. If you want more throttle, push harder on the gas pedal.

That throttle position thing is no good !!! if you have the stock sensor in the right setting you don`t need nothing .

Its a waste of money, just like the airfoil and power tower spacer plate.

If you want your throttle to be open, put the pedal to the floor, dont lie to the computer.
