The Camaro guys are going nuts over this relatively inexpensive mod - not sure why no one here has posted anything (didn't see in search). Google it.
1st, no affiliation with this company at all.
Basically, this piece goes in line with oem accelerator harness and allows you to dial out lag, increase throttle input responsiveness (sport 1 - 9) or dial in less throttle response (E 1-7) for mileage/economy/valet effect. 0 is stock throttle response.
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!! This piece at 5 and up is insane. 7 - 9 is instant throttle response. Drive on 5+ for 10 min and go back to 0 and it feels like you're trailering a boat.
Easy install if you can crawl under a dash and pull hush panel under driver dash, no CEL issues, $180, and shockingly effective.
Best mod for the money for sure. I am only passing this on due to my own sheer giddyness.

I was also merely repeating what you told me on a personal phone call when I was shopping for a tune and read your post and called you. What I said on my post was merely repeating what you told me over our phone conversation. You also quoted me a price of $1000 for your tune and throttle boost package and you did tell me it could take as little
as a week, two tops if I didn't want to pay your $500 security deposit.
Why don't you act like a professional business, like the owners of the other products mention in these post, and keep your mouth shut and stay out of the members personal posts! Let the members come to their own decision, and quit trying to peddle your product! I cant count how many times you have butted into our posts. I'm personally sick of it.
Like many of the members have clearly said they all do the same thing,
It's matter of personal preference. SO BUT OUT!

I don't think he was attacking you at all.... I think he was just doesn't know you send a PCM out and charge a core till you get the original PCM back.....
Wow you have 250+ pcms laying around ... that's a lot to store...
Your always the only one on here trying to put others down.. Thinking you know everything ,,,,, You don't see the sprint booster on here you don't see the VTC guys on here trying to put you or your product down...
Why not just take the high road and move on.. Its like peanut butter and jelly,,, some like peanut butter and some like jelly.. and some like both...
Engine-related Performance Parts are intended for the experienced driver only. Our Throttle Controllers must not be used on public roads and in some cases may be restricted to closed course competition or Off Road use only.
Not doubting your experience OP, but just curious as to how it works.
There's no 'lag' built in at the gas pedal -- all it is is a rheostat; actual response and throttle body plate opening is controlled by the ECM, beyond the reach of the Vitesse device.
I'm guessing it just changes Gas Pedal signal to simulate a higher value than actual?
30% gas pedal is reported as 50%
50% gas pedal is reported as 70%
70% gas pedal is reported as 90%
Etc
At the end, you're still at 100% max, so maybe it just front-loads the sensitivity to the first 1/2 of the gas pedal travel?
I have this unit in my corvette. When I had my camaro, I bought it and it was by far the best in throttle response. Its the same as the other throttle controller but a lot cheaper. I posted a thread a while back and it was shut down as Vitesse is not a sponsor.
My experience is that for those that think there is no delay, you don't know until you know. Trust me. There is a delay. With this unit, you can adjust it to your driving style. They're is about 9 settings and the highest setting is wild wicked, allowing the throttle blade to open fast. You can hear the intake breathing in a lot more air.
This unit also has a Eco mode. Where it limits the throttle body blade. So no matter how hard you step on it, it opens slowly to save on gas. Overall, it is a great mod and at a great price.

Kent - Not sure. Your theory may be correct. I am reporting what manufacturer is stating. Lower rpm throttle sensitivity is dramatically increased.
It's doing something dramatic and I can really feel it vs most SOTP mods where it's mildly noticeable at best.
Can't the throttle opening rate be changed in the tune?
My understanding is there are limits to what you can do tune wise. There is a table that defines the relationship between the pedal position and throttle blade position (actually there are several, trucks use different ones for 4x4 mode, towing mode, etc.)
If I'm reading it right, I am surprised to see how much pedal movement it takes to really get to "wide open".
HP Tuners has a big warning on those tables that if you enter something that the TAC module doesn't like, you can brick your ECM permanently. I haven't had the ***** to try messing with them, although I really do want to speed it up a bit. I haven't had the nerve to try it though.
This type of box is very very common in the BMW world. A lot of the drive by wire BMW's have a horrible dead spot when you first start to push own the throttle.. so these types of boxes improve that quite a bit.
I'm sure all this is doing is manipulating the signal it receives from the throttle pedal to change the relationship from actual pedal position to what the ECM thinks the pedal position is.

So your saying you can install them in a Corvette? If so what years? Which one do you buy? do you have to modify anything?

Just want to make sure I'm reading this right - the Camaro model would be a plug and play for the vette? 2012 LS3.
Maybe you should look at their web site , youd have your answer an hour and a half ago.... Just sayin........... Sorry I had to ,,LOL
I actually did look at the website an hour and a half ago during a meeting at work. I must have missed it. I'll have to look again. By the way, are you always this helpful? 😁
