There is a way to install in which you can lace the controller-connector harness through the existing hole in the carpet and the controller would be completely behind the carpet. There is also a recess there where the controller fits under the carpet. We'll extend the harness nevertheless.

Thanks, Bob. We'll definitely do that.

Mike - is there any heat generated by the controller box? IE, is there any concern for placing this behind the carpet? If no, then the wire length would not have to extend to above the carpet line. Just so it is long enough to clear the pedal area where it meets the carpet. I wouldn't want to create another problem by having the cables too long either. I saw one picture with it attached to the side panel and I could see, for me, where this could be hit by my foot.

I ran the wire to the control head to the center console under the armrest. That way it was easy to adjust and I can change is easier on track days,

So this is similar to the Pedal commander and vitesse controller? Also, will this void mfg warranty?

Part-wise (controller to controller), very similar. We offer a wider variety of settings.
Price-wise (dollar for dollar), we offer a modified throttle body plus the controller, a much better/complete solution to the whole throttle delay and power delivery issue.
Warranty-wise, it is completely under your control. Haven't heard of a single case with our products or any similar one for that matter.

I was thinking of picking up a used PC or Vitesse TC then saw yours. If al I wanted is better throttle response, i.e. more of a linear feel, could I just buy the TC and not the TB? When I had a BMW 335i, the car was a different animal when in Sport mode. The Corvette is tame unless you almost punch it. I want more of the sport mode.

Rckt, I think you'll benefit from either one independently, but they together add to more than the sum of them.
The difference is that the "throttle controller" is actually a pedal controller. The only thing that can linearize/smooth the actual throttle response is the actual throttle body.
The TB controls shape of the curve and reacts better by allowing more air/power for every throttle position.
The TC controls the rate at which you move through that curve by simulating a greater pedal stroke than actual.
They are both good things.

Mike,
Love the PTB and TC. What a world of difference this made to my C7. Completely night and day from the factory setting.
Now, if you only made these for my wife's '17 Tahoe. The pedal on that car is mush. It needs a jolt.

I have the Soler PTB and TC, love ‘em. I’ve read posts until I’m crosseyed but could not find a discussion about how the different throttle curves from Sport and Track mode interact with the TC. I’ll admit I haven’t experimented with it yet but does the TC override the throttle curve changes or exaggerate them on the Mode settings?

I don't think there's a thread that compares them. In tour I ended up with 2.2 I believe and I think 1.3 or 1.4 in track. You really have to live with it a while to see what works best but that's where I ended up. I use tour on the street and track on the track and rarely ever use sport mode. I'm not sure what you get other than a stiffer ride. I've tracked my car at VIR in tour mode and it was in the low 2's so you really don't give up much in tour.

What are you guys doing with these TC's if you take your car in for service? My understanding is if you just unplug the TC lcd display unit that it puts the car into limp mode? So its either hide the lcd display or remove everything all together before taking it in?
