Default Throttle performance switch

Will a throttle performance switch that fits a 1994 lt - 1 engine work in a 1998 corvette ?

I have no idea but it apparently was not liked on the C4.

Kind of like getting a "Performance Chip" for the C5.

I would pass on adding something like that to the car. Doubt it would have any benefit at all, plus doubt that something for a 1994 C4 with a totally different engine would work on a C5 with the LS1.

There are a number of those type of devices that were advertised as something that will improve performance. And some of these claimed large HP/torque increases. They do not do that at all. Waste of money.

Chuck CoW can do a CoW booster on your C5 and it makes the throttle MUCH more responsive!

The throttlebody and related electronics are completely different on a C5 than on a C4.

And on a C4 it probably wasn't a product worth using either.

As mentioned above, the computer on the C5 is completely tunable. Any performance changes that you want to make to the electronics can be done with a laptop from a good tuner.

Hey there.. Give me a call and I'll explain.

Nothing from the C4 is compatible with C5.


I can make any C5 AMAZING to drive with just a tune.

Throttle response and low end performance is AMAZING!
