Sorry ....they just sent me a email saying to send it back for a full refund. And that is what i am about to do!
I will say this....it is a fun thing to mess with but in the end for most driving situations i prefer pedal travel to be more linear. I tried setting it to 1 -2 or 3 just to get rid of tip in lag and it works kinda this is the main reason why i wanted to try it out. I set it on 5 like a lot of users seem to do and i just didn't care for how it made the pedal so short and also made the car a bit jerky at parking lot speeds.
Hmm, there are issues with calibrating it and someone recently posted that when you push in on the **** it may not make contact and may NOT be calibrated correctly!
The reason I say that is I was used to the Max GM throttle response in my none MRC Z51 for 3 1/2 years in a Drive hat was Max. When I got my Grand Sport where I drove in Touring for the ride,it felt like was driving a big Caddy! "ld Man"ow tip-in. I installed the Vitesse Controller and ride in #5 which Vitesse says is linear. It feels like my Z51 set at Max GM response! Could have driven in Track Mose to have Max GM response but that ride rattled my teeth!
This is the graph I labeled as what I found. It's actually another device but IMO Vitesse is the same.
Jerry, thanks for the info, I unplugged it and recalibrated once before i made up my mind and it worked the same both ways.
Ive bought alot of performance parts over the years and been disappointed more than once so i sorta dont really pay much attention to graphs and what manufactures put out there to sell things... i try things out and if i like it cool and if not i move on. User error sometimes occurs i admit.
For me....Tell me your 60 ft times and trap speed... those numbers dont lie if you know much about drag racing, although my vette prolly won't ever make a pass.
^^^ Understand! Drag Racing
Yep an old drag racer from "the day!" Still a big fan, fits my temperament-over in under 4 seconds. Like 3rd Qualifying Session in F1! Have to experience 4 wide as I did again this year at the zMAX Motor Speedway in Charlotte. 40,000 hp shakes the ground!
In fact have a signed copy of Don Garlets book, Big Daddy. Got that in 1991 when we had a National AHRA Meet in Darlington SC. I recall telling Don I saw him in Montgomery NY when he had 8 Stromberg 97's and no blower. He instantly said, "Yep I was only their once in 1958 and turned 8.36! " That book is really like a diary with details of every race he had. Sure enough in the back is a list of all speeds and mph and Montgomery was his 9th recorded race in his 4th year!
Was visiting friends in Ocala, FL last year and went to his museum, his is the 2nd time. Really worth taking the time to do it, he has all of his Swamp Rats and many racers out of respect have donated their old historic cars. Not as fancy as the drag race museum in Pomona but has many more cars. Worth the trip! Picked up another book, "Don Garlits and His Cars. Fun read.
PS: This past weeks F1 in the England was a great race. The Drag Race in New England was also very good except Eric Enders who often gets a 0.01 light had a red light in the finals! First time ever for her in a final round!

I was in vegas this year for the 1st 4 wide there. yes its something everyone should experience if your at all into cars. I bracket race my 65 mustang fastback, i put togther a little pump gas 11 to 1 363 small block it makes about 530 hp and run low 11's & high 10's depending on DA and track conditions.
The pomona museum is cool but ive been a bunch of times and would love to visit big's Ocala museum one day.... FYI I collect original drag racing T shirts from the 50's -60's and i have several don garlits shirts.
I went ahead and ordered one - arrived in 5 days. All I can say is that I’m seriously impressed. I’m an old Foxbody 5.0 guy that stepped up to a C7 after several family sedans. I’m not used to a $179 mod responding this well! It completely changes the characteristics of the car and makes it drive more like a performance car. 9 seems too harsh for now, I have mine set at 6 and it feels perfect. What Jerry says about the linear throttle response curve hits the nail on the head. I’m actually surprised how it’s made full throttle launches so much snappier and the car digs better.
Simple install, I wired mine into the console with the wire going through the lid receiver latch hole so that I don’t have to drill. Simple, easy, clean, and looks factory. It’s only been 1 day, but I’m happy with it.
Drove on SP5 yesterday... Quick & direct throttle response.. SP6 has just a touch of notchiness at very low speeds, when off throttle and then accelerating, and is good for rural driving
Staying on SP5 for my city driving, and when going to Carlisle on the turnpike or on the highway, SP7 !
