I love it, installed it and found a reason to leave the house just to see the power of it and it amazed me.

Well it WAS my reason to leave the house! So I installed it yesterday, uninstalled it, dry humped it, then re-installed it again. After reading a few threads here, looking at the pictures they provided (whoever you were, thank you very much!), and using the included instructions - it could not have been any easier. It's literally plug and play. It was installed in about 20 minutes, the hardest part was gaining access to it. I slid my seat all the way back and actually laid on my back on the floor. I used a tooth pick, to push the grey clip-lock in then yanked the thing apart. After plugging it in and tie wrapping it up, it was programmed in about 1 minute. I mounted the controller under the middle display screen and ran the wire along the right side of the steering column and through the under part of the dash. You can't see anything but the "SP9" on the display - it's fantastic.

It's not the best buck 80 I've spent on the car, it's buck 80 I've ever spent. It really changes the car. I have the 6 and I have to say, anyone with 180 bucks and 20 minutes to spare should get this for them and their cars' sake. It makes the 6 what Chevy obviously wanted it to be. You will freekin' love it. I normally don't curse snow but we got several inches last night and I installed the VTC yesterday before it got here. Work was closed today and I was so pissed because I want to drive my car SO BAD!!!! Seriously, anyone with the 6, take your "other mods" savings, wait till you get a buck 80, and buy a VTC. I'll post a vid as soon as I can - it's going to be a couple days though. Mean time I can post pics, just let me know what you want to see.

I'll answer any questions anyone has. I don't mind being asked the same thing again and again - that happens in a forum. It really is easy, if you're considering it, the cash is no problem but you're worried about the install, don't be. It is SO easy because this is such a great product. It comes with double sided tape for mounting the controller, it even includes a small black tie wrap so you can run the wires where you want. They thought of everything AND provide it. There's a reason everyone here, including me, is flipping out about it - they should be.

Its one of the best mods that I have done so far. Like everyone says easy installation and easy programming. No more dead spot when you floor the gas peddle, as soon as you push the gas peddle the car hauls ass!!! I have a V6 and this mod makes it feel like a V8. I have it set at SP7 otherwise it brakes the tires loose! Do yourself a favor and buy this thing it kicks ass!!! You wont regret it.

Yup! The hardest part is getting the tires to hook on SP9...

I have a question about it I know what setting to keep it on sp5 6 and 9 so on but the other button to the left that has eco numbers from 0 to 9 I believe

what do I keep that on for best results or do you even use that when you have it set to sp5 ? If this makes sense

EC0 is stock and the higher number you go deadens the throttle response more. I keep mine set on EC0 so if I want to switch back to stock from my normal SP6 all I have to do is hit the EC button. Then to go back to SP6 I can just push the SP button.

Installed mine today. Really wakes up my V6.
When using the tap shifters it seems to up shift quicker and down shift quicker as well.
WOW

Call me confused with this post. Tap shifting is a manual process how can this make the human hand tap quicker?

The actual shifting is still electronic. But I haven't noticed it shifting any faster when using the paddles, I used mine today. Maybe the placebo effect.
Now in full auto it will downshift sooner (less movement of the throttle) but not faster. It has no effect on the operation of the transmission.
