Default Throttle response

I have a 2008 Z51 NPP M6 and would like my throttle to respond more like the old days, whats the best thing out there? I'm not to worried about adding a lot of power (though I'll never complain) but when I hit the pedal I would like it to respond instantaneously!
I've seen so many things from simple plugin units which I'm skeptical of
and to hand held tune units. Not really wanting to go custom tune at a shop. My car is stock other than a MAF sensor change some good wires and an LS9 filter upgrade! I know boring but I'm more about the curves pulled a comfortable .97 G's yesterday, the wife just closes her eyes !!

thanks for your time and future input!

A lot of folks around here, including myself, run the Vitesse. It makes a world of difference.

Plus 1 on the Vitesse throttle controller. There are more threads on this subject than you could ever read here. I have been living happily with mine for about 2 years.

plus 2 on the Vitesse , just do a search.... you will see hundreds of posts on people using the Vitesse

You will also see a select few who had a problem with it.....very few compared to how many are installed

You can't go wrong with a Vitesse...
