Have any of you C7 guys looked into this throttle controller from Vitesse Motorsports. The C6 guys are getting quite a kick out of it.

Yes.

Just installed one on my C7 Z06 A8 and results are VERY impressive. Stock throttle position has a little response lag, which is helpful in daily street driving conditions since the torque is very controllable. The SP5 setting is for a driver well familiar with lots of torque off the line and is a good setting for drag radials at the track. The SP9 is probably suicidal since the tires blow off just off idle and I would think on high speed shifts, the car will no doubt get sideways even with the nannies still on. I can see why GM introduced the slight lag for those not familiar with this amount of low end torque and it also keeps the powertrain from failing under warranty. Overall, it is a nice increase in drivability as long as you keep it under control. Well worth the money and should help out with better 60 fts!

 

Have a Sprint Booster on my M7 that works really well in eliminating the lag.

 

You can make the same "throttle boost" adjustments from a Diablo handheld or a custom tune as well.

 

Can you please advise on what setting to use on Diablo. I am looking for crisp throttle response but not crazy which would override the Nannies. Thanks in advace.

If you jump over to the C6 section, they are all raving about the Vitesse throttle controller. I like the fact that it's easily reversable. If my car were not in storage, I'd order one.

Slow Poke.......Where did you mount the controller (pictures?)

 

If this product works half as good on the C7 as it does on the C6, it's a winner. I decided to order one.

 

Its labeled as Throttle Boost when you choose the option to modify the tune, you can add up to 20% over what we've already done in the tune

 

Mike...if I don't want to add your tune can I just use the "Throttle Boost" by itself?

Yes. We offer a modify stock tune option that allows you to adjust things like throttle boost or tire size without changing anything else.

Thanks

 

Hey Mike...installed throttle boost WOW!!! big difference over stock. I noticed DOD on one of the parimeters...is this to turn off skip shift 1-4?

DOD stands for displacement on demand, or Active Fuel Management as it's called on the C7. I believe that the 1-4 skip-shift is automatically disabled with the modified tunes Diablo provides; I do not see it as an adjustable parameter on my handheld, but it is most definitely now disabled.

 

Thank You!!!! Kracka!

 

what about if I add the 20% throttle boost from the diablo handheld plus the vitesse throttle controller? what would that do???

 

I just got my Vitesse today. I have some ideas on how to mount it, I'll see if it works out the way I want it to. Hopefully this monsoon rain we're having will pass. I'm itching to try it out.

 

Probably overload the warp speed compensator and throw you halfway across the galaxy.

 

 

Now that is funny as hel!.

 

Ok so I got it installed. It's fairly straightforward but would be a LOT easier if I were a double jointed ninja. Sadly, I'm not. I wanted to put it out of my siteline and down a little bit. If you're tall, this may not work for you but I'm happy. It's out of the way because it kinda looks like *** to have it stuck in the middle of your dash and it's easy to hide the wires where I put it. I used double sided tape and a 1 1/2 x 3/4" corner bracket. It's raining so I'll have to test it out later. Here's a few pics of how I did it.

This was only the second time I've removed the gas pedal, you pull that soft rubber cover off, then unscrew the 10mm bolt. The whole assembly slides straight back. You might have to wiggle it to get it free:








I ran the wires for the pedal and controller behind the carpet, then tucked it all back under so it was out of the way.







I bent the bracket a little so it angled down when it was installed. I also painted it because I'm ****. The bracket just slips between the dash and the lower trim piece. I have my phone mounted on that side, I like it because I can run the wires under that trim piece and back to the center console to be plugged in. It worked well for the control because the wires come out that side and they can be hidden pretty well.










The only thing I'm not thrilled about is the second Vitesse box, I just tucked it under the carpet but I think it's gonna get too warm there so I'll probably mount it using that bolt under the dash:



This works for me, hopefully somebody can improve on it.

 

Any answer on changing the setting to 20% on Diablo?
