I emailed him near the end of last year, his first response was the '05 unit was "four" days away...just needs a little more final testing.....followed with one more email few months later - response was, still working on it and will contact me when ready....

Same time frame ^^^^ last year, from down under, an Australian company, advertised an identical number steps function unit in stock for an '05...I emailed the company, was told the advertise and "available" '05 unit is not yet available but it is at final testing stage...subsequent email response: they will contact me when ready!

Now, I believe it when someone is using it!!

Installed one of these on my 08. Easy install, low cost and it does exactly what they say. The big advantage for me is that you can adjust the throttle response yourself. You can even set the response to be less sensitive than stock for highway fuel mileage on trips.

I play safe, email yesterday, but still no response!

I am curious if it is made in Taiwan as the Freepower, they both appear to share similar functions, even in appearance.

Some site offers version 2 in both SP9 and SP11. Now Revhigh is advertising version 3?

Recalibrate it , most don't get the top calibration point right

You are are sending the ECM a signal that it can't interpret because it is out of range so it throws a CEL .....

Did do that and I think you may be right. Not sure I ever saw 100 on display during set up. So far so good but haven't been above sp7
since I recalibrated. Thanx for that explanation

Good news , almost all the time when someone says the have a CEL or unintended acceleration ( which can't happen by the way) it's because it just was not calibration right

You should be OK....

NO! It appears that they are no closer to putting one into production than any of the other folks. After waiting weeks for a response from them, I finally e-mailed them and they refunded my Paypal account. I noticed they are still advertising them. They should take it off their website if they don't have 'em!

^^^Ira, my friend, their ad been up since last year, maybe maker(Maybe Taiwanese) was gauging market, but '05 model market is too small!

Ever consider 4.10 rear end? Which, put a smile on my face, regardless of throttle position or any gears...certainly more cost and efforts:

https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...cal-style.html

Having that rear end, I don't mind the wait for the possible RevHigh or Vitesse controller!
