Why not just use the proven throttle controllers, Vitesse and Pedal Commander?

A Tune will only give you one option , the one the tuner chooses, the Vitesse , while overkill gives you 14 different settings
I use the different settings when I race , I use SP0 or 1 if the grip is not so good , and I have gone as high as SP7 with good grip . Driving around town I use SP 3 or 4

Plus the Vitesse at $179 is cheaper than any tune ...

To answer your question: I have not looked at the Hypertech unit, but I will try to find out more about it.

Default What about optimizing the actual throttle valve?

That would optimize the pedal to your taste. What about optimizing the actual throttle body/valve response with one of our MTB's first? It is really easy, instructions attached.

Looks like it is pretty new, no reviews yet. I would try and find out if it really does not void your warranty through GM.

Cheers,

Throttle controllers are bandaids and not actual fixes at all.

Fairly new, yes, we do have a few dozen reviews scattered all over the forum by now. Search "Soler" here at CF.

Voiding the warranty is totally under your control. The same rules apply, as for a throttle (pedal) controller.

Thanks,

Sorry, I was talking about the Hypertech controller.

Depends on your goals ....

Like I said above I use mine to vary my throttle response depending on track conditions as do may of my friends who race. a side benefit is I take the initial lag out when driving under normal conditions . . It allows me to be more consistent off the line .

Not necessarily the case.
Our i3 and t2 tuners offer the end users an adjustable parameter for 'throttle boost' which allows you to increase sensitivity up to 20% over stock, and do it properly without altering a signal to the pcm.
If you don't like it, you can add more or less with a simple 2 minute reflash

This way you get a great tune, and throttle control, in a warranty safe package, all in one shot.

Mike , you are correct and you know i am a biig advocate of your products but when i am at the track , a simple push if the button and if I need to adjust it more a second push is easier than doing a reflash . For someone who never tracks the car and just wants to remove the lag .... your product works GREAT ...!!

Off topic I need to PM u as I am still having the problem where at the end of my flash I still have to disconnect my battery and reconnect in order for the tune to take effect...
