Thanks, the white connector to the controller, when it clicks/locks, it is actually hard to get it disconnected (even on purpose). If you found it loose, please check that it does not slide out easily after reconnecting, you'd need to press on its locking tab with a flat head screwdriver to pull it out. If it slides out easily let us know and we'll send you another harness.
it could have been on the first try I didn’t have it clicked in all the way but I made it almost 50 miles without an issue. The CEL are cleared and I went for another ride. Some spirited driving and no issues at all until I pull into my neighborhood. No CEL but the reduced power thing. Shut it off, pop the hood and close it and back to normal. Could it be the addition on the TB and new air filter the ECM has not yet compensated for the additional air?

Hey Mike, just wanted to touch base with you on my experience with your TB and TC on my C7Z M7. I installed them late last fall, put a few miles on it and tucked it away for winter. Have put some mileage on this spring so figured it would be fair for a review. IT'S FRIGN OUTSTANDING!!!! Your products are extremely high quality, you have great customer service, and you take great pride in your buisness. Anyone looking for an upgrade should look at Soler first.
My Z performs much better off idle, revs quicker, and makes the whole driving experience that much more enjoyable. Im not looking to mod it any further and only have one of Terry's BMS filters (a must have also) installed. Just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with the purchase and performance your products provide.
Thanks, Bill

I've been driving around on CF7 for the last day or two. I found SP5 to be a little hotter than I expected, probably due to the fact that it's an entirely new throttle pedal now.
Anyone else notice a bit of a surging when just trying to maintain speed, say, 40mph? It may be my foot oscillating over bumps thought too!

I find SP 5 to be great when away from traffic and zipping around in twisties, but just a tad aggressive in stop and go traffic. I dropped it down to SP2 and this is working well as an all-around setting.

If you have an A&A SC and Tuned on 2014 Z51, would adding a TB and TC require a re-tune and/or how does it work with SC or is it the same?

If you go with a larger TB like our Modified LT5, then you'll need to retune. If you go with our LT1 TB, no tune is required. The TC doesn't matter in any case. Thanks.

What is the difference with Solar Throttle Controller vs. Vitesse Throttle Controller or why should I buy your TC vs any competitor TC?

We have a greater number of settings (response curves for you to choose from), we think it is aesthetically more in tune w/ the Corvette interior, we are behind it 100% over the phone or online ready to help, combine that with better pricing and you have value like no other we know of. Thanks.

Mike helped install my Throttle Body (LT1) and Throttle Control last week at his shop on my z51. All I can say is it performs as he says. If you are on the fence as to which one to get, definetly recommend Soler. You notice a difference and combined with the TC... lets just say smiles.....

Hey Mike, I just placed my order this evening for the TB and TC. Car only has 150 miles on it but I'm very much looking forward to getting rid of the mushy, disconnect pedal feel. I've read up on your TB and I'm stoked to have one incoming in a few days.
I work for Lockheed (Sikorsky) in the Helicopter division so I appreciate your attention to detail and data to support your work. Well done and keep it up

Great products you produce for us!
Thank You!
Question please...
What things do you modify differently between auto and manual cars?
And, what do you modify differently between models?
Thanks

In terms, of LT1 vs. LT4, that hasn't changed, they are calibrated differently and the LT4 simply accepts more air than the LT1.
Thanks,

Mike,
On my 2019 M7 GS I have your TB and TC (set at SP3). Been running for several months now.
I still get a stall condition when I'm backing up my slightly inclined driveway to put it away in the garage. I really havent noticed it in 1st gear takeoffs but I have killed the car a few times in reverse.
Normal? Should I try a recal (like first time installation procedures)?
Everything else has been flawless! Thanks
