Wrong assumptions.

No one can make their Throttle Body Blade open faster by simply stepping harder on the Gas pedal, the delay will still be there.

 

It can be programmed out on a dyno and It will toss codes and put the car into limp mode like it did on my friends camaro. Its junk.

 

There have been examples of this happening, but they have been traced back to improper instillation/calibration. There have been way too many satisfied customers who have not had any issues to support your statement.

 

well when I asked 2 ls only shops what they thought and they said its junk and may even damage your car that is enough to support my statement. one builder said you want more throttle response add more power, problem solved.

 

I've had mine for about a year with my only regret being not getting it sooner, as I was skeptical of all the glowing reviews. No issues and no problems since the initial installation .

 

I will not comment on their thoughts but "Adding more power will never translate to more throttle response" I don't think you know what you are talking about.

The 2015+ Corvette Z06 does have more power and yet people still complained about their Throttle response.

Yes, our Controller did improve dramatically the Throttle response on heavily modified / stock / supercharged / tuned or bone stock....

 

wow , you must have read that on the internet because everything you read on the internet is true .....

nope, junk.

 

nothing I stated came from the internet. So I dont understand what you mean. Go buy a chip off ebay. Half the people there say "wow what a difference"

 

Are these shops who want to sell you a tune ? What "damage" could the controller cause ? All it does is create a more linear relationship between the pedal and throttle.

 

Serious damage guys, serious

Instead you should buy a bunch of mods from me

 

Lol lol lol good one !!


There is always one know it all Internet mechanic that knows everything lol lol

 

Do you have an "ls only" shop"?

 

He has to be an authorized LS only shop because the others are just "all junk"

Dave

 

So there are literally hundreds of happy customers on this forum alone and your friend and his Camaro is a sad customer and that's why you call it junk?

 

The OP must have gone to his remedial grammar course.

 

No, but if you want to buy a bunch of stuff at a huge markup I'll be happy to sell it to you

 

Can I tell all my friends on the internet about it ?

 

You need to find a better class of "ls only" shops. The advice you're getting about throttle response is bogus. Yes, more power is always fun but it doesn't always equal quicker acceleration. Pay attention to users, not guys trying to sell you something.

In late September I had an HP Tune (engine & transmission) professionally done on my stock 2008 Corvette, auto trans, then drove it on a 3,200 mile trip across plains and mountains, elevations from 2,200' to 7,000'. The tune really woke the engine up (I'd done exactly the same trip in June.) There was better acceleration from a stop and stronger pull once RPM hit 3,500. And there was negligible impact of fuel mileage. I was very happy with the money spent on it.

I had a Vitesse controller sitting on the shelf. I'd bought it before the tune and never got around to installing it. With the tune done, I intended to send it back. I spoke to the Vitesse folks about that and they said I could install it and if I didn't like it, I could still send it back even though the return period was over.

In short, and to reiterate other comments: Wow! The Vitesse unit is a useful addition on top of to the HP Tune. Using the Economy/1 or 2 setting on the Vitesse, with the car in Drive and the acceleration is lethargic. An oxcart comes to mind. Change the Vitesse to 5 or 6 and acceleration is useful for urban traffic. Punch up the 9 setting and acceleration becomes, ahhh, "sporty," at best.

But, move the transmission to Sport mode and put the Vitesse in 5 or 6 in its Sport mode, and the acceleration becomes explosive, with a couple seconds of wheelspin on the 2nd to 3rd gear shift before the nannies kick in and let the tires hook up. Get hard into the throttle in 4th, so that it downshifts to 3rd, and there's more wheelspin.

I just keep my Vitesse on the 5 setting in both modes, using the Economy setting in heavy, urban traffic and punching the Sport button once things thin out. It's a nice piece of gear. In terms of driving fun, I think it's the best $180 bucks you can spend for a kick in the butt.

There is a whole thread in the general section where a member provided a loaner to anyone wanting to try it. It was sent from member to member. Everybody loved it. Big improvement for $180 and the mfg they will take it back if you are not happy. Can't go wrong. I got mine but have to get it installed because I am too old, fat and crippled up to get in there. Just saying.....
