Did he tell you what codes? Have him reinstall it and make sure all if the connections are tight. My bet is it wasn't seated properly and the ECM was detecting an incomplete circuit from the accelerator petal.

If she looks anything like the picture, you'll be sucking your gut in and bouncing around like a teenager. 
I have the same issues that you do ... it's called AGE. If I had one of these gadgets I'd have to take it to my Corvette shop and have him put it in. Or I could use the guy who put my speakers in and did my sound-deadening ... he's the most meticulous car person I've ever seen.

I have a younger buddy that I would totally trust to do this, but it's not that big of a deal, I'll do it myself. I just want to be as prepared as possible so I don't have to get in and out too many times.
And I always assume the worst, I always over-think things ahead of time -- been doing it all my life. Can't stop now, lol.
EDIT: The picture is Debbie Dunning, the "Tool Girl" on Tim Allen's old sitcom from the '90s. My ex-GF is 53, has seven grandkids, and is also quite attractive. I'm workin' on it . . .

I called Corvette Mods about this mod, they said since I had a Dyno Tune and all the factory restricters removed that this issue was addressed (resolved) at that time...
Anyone out there that can confirm?

I have a tune and this still makes a very noticeable difference.

Absolutely UNTRUE.
This is an old topic that was sealed many years ago.
NOBODY can do what I did for the C6.

I don't use either.
However to say I am wrong is not correct, maybe I should have used the word most and not all but the linearity of the pedal position to the throttle position is absolutely changeable by a dyno tuner.
I have been to Lingenfelter, Callaway & Dyno Tune Motorsports in person & They all have the capacity to change the linearity of the pedal position to the throttle position.
It's really not rocket science.

I'm sorry.
Chuck - I have no issue with your product nor do I with Vitesse.

you have referenced me and my product and your comment was totally incorrect.
NONE, and I mean.....NONE of the tuners you mentioned or anyone else for that matter has access to the Electronic Throttle Tables in
your C6 computer and this is a FACT that has been discussed over and over and ultimately, every attempt someone has
made to dispute it has FAILED. I have been challenged many times on this and evidence of it is all over this forum.
I REPEAT, NOBODY has duplicated my CoW BOOSTER! and even if they could figure it out, there is soooo
much development time invested to build it for every LS platform out there and TEST IT PROPERLY BEFORE RELEASE
TO THE PUBLIC..... NOBODY would bother wasting their time if they did know how to do what I did.
I never explain for obvious reasons what I did, but those that know about such things KNOW that they don't
posses the tools, knowledge, or skills to duplicate it.
Not trying to be a snob, and not trying to pick a fight with you, but when my name comes up with incorrect or misleading
information regarding me or my products, I feel obligated to set the record straight for all.
No harm, no foul.

Does that include what guys say you did to their cars on the SmokinVettes Forum?

[QUOTE=Chuck CoW;1591226146]Actually Chuck I was shopping and comparing reviews on various Corvette and Camaro forums. (Want to see what everyone has experienced. Not just going by what I see on this forum). There are some awful reviews (tranny/engine failures) related to your product. That's what made me go with Vitesse.

Very interesting. Looks like I dodged a bullet.

Very potentially unsafe condition - WOT or ETC shutdown.
If you're referring to the cherry-picked posts Chuck CoW posted, I read through them and looked like most of the problems were user calibration problems. Looked like 1 might have been an actual control unit failure. The car went into reduced power mode, which is the default response to a faulty TC signal reading, I believe. Of course Chuck is claiming you will die if you install the Vitesse. 
Unplug the unit and plug the stock harness directly back into the throttle and you're up and running.

Yeah, after you're in an accident... or maybe a fatal one.... JUST SIMPLY UNPLUG THE VITTESSE ALL YOUR PROBLEMS DISAPPEAR!
User error, poor design, or faulty TC signal....
When it happens and you suffer a loss.... Just simply unplug the darn thing.
It will immediately UN CRASH your vehicle and even BRING YOU BACK TO LIFE.
The system was designed and built NOT to fail due to the MASSIVE liability surrounding the potential issues resulting from
messing with the ELECTRONIC THROTTLE system.
Early in this product's release, there are DOCUMENTED issues associated with the installation and use of this product.
ZERO for mine. You decide.
My opinion is that you're poking a stick at a sleeping bear....
1 in a MILLION is a chance I'll never take with my customers.
You decide. More info to come shortly.
