It does more than just reduce/eliminate lag. Honest question, have you used a throttle controller before and if so what brand and what car? As I mentioned previously I have used TC a few times on both stock and modified (fully tuned cars) and it makes a noticeable difference and its not a placebo effect like someone saying they "feel" a 5hp difference by swapping out an air filter.

Trust me you don't want me to do that! When I finally snake my body into that ridiculously tight space I have no idea how I could fit a recording device in there with me!

I’ve extensively modified cars before but I don’t believe I’ve used a throttle controller so maybe there’s more to it than I realize …

There's a detailed installation thread on MECF with a bunch of photos.

It does do more than eliminate lag. It speeds throttle response through a much wider range of pedal movement. But I agree that in Sport mode (I didn't try track) the throttle response of the Z06 is much better than the Stingray.

The ability to customize throttle response/sensitivity is a game changer especially if you are going to do any track days…an I would say that it is future more amplified in AutoX specifically when you are on and off the throttle very quickly. . Going back to what I said earlier I honestly don’t think there is a better bank for the buck Mod anywhere…and I think that goes for most cars on the road. It’s a ~ $150 mod that feels like it should cost much more.

Again I have yet to try on the Z as I want to get through break in first but I cannot imagine it’s going to help like previous cars I have had it on.
