You say it eliminates the response delay?
if I'm in launch control and I have the accelerator pedal to the floor and then release the brake are you saying that the throttle will open to max position quicker with your product installed?

If the pedal is all the way down, it is already wide open
It changes the rate of throttle pick up via the electronic sensors. If you
have stock throttle position "X" at 1/4 throttle, than it will be "X+" at 1/4 throttle when installed
so
the throttle response will be faster from 0 to 1/4 throttle in the above example vs stock

That is a good question but if you look at the way a throttle controller works by time you let go of the brake pedal doing a launch it will not change anything. These things shorten the drive by wire initial delay and once the pedal is to the floor that delay is gone. If you release the pedal and put your foot back down you will feel the controller do what it is designed to do.

In 1988 BMW came out with the first car (7 series) with drive by wire and it was terrible you could literally count to three after you pushed the throttle down before the car moved. Some years later I installed the first of many throttle controllers even though by then drive by wire had gotten better with less delay time. The advent of turbo cars ( early turbo cars combined with drive by wire really had hesitation since the turbo needed to spool up) made things worse until they got faster at spooling up or had electric help. Not every car is the same nor every driver I happen to be unusually sensitive to drive by wire delay and with the exemption of the one of kind 911 in my garage all my current vehicles have a throttle controller of (if it is available) some kind installed. The delay is there but it has become part of the modern car and unless you are sensitive to it like me or old and remember what cars used to be like you are just used to it.

You can dial down the power in relation to the throttle input
Opens and closes the throttle faster or slower in relation to the gas pedal input
