Question Throttle Response Controller on V6

So I am in the 2013 LFX 3.6L V6.
What kind of performance increase am I going to see in the butt dyno from this?
Would greatly appreciate a review from someone that's done this to their v6!
I have already done a VMAX spiral ported throttle body, and a CAI cold air intake, which I am very happy with. Can I expect to see an increase in felt performance like I did with those two additions?

Thanks!

Here is a review I did today in another thread.

The convertible will weigh more than the coupe so the effects may not be as dramatic in some cases. For mine I say forget anything under SP3 because you won't notice much change. SP4-6 you get quicker downshifts ( both normal and sport modes)and when making a turn pulling out you need to be careful because for the first time on dry pavement pulling out the rear end broke loose and I fishtailed for a good 100 ft. with TC off, with TC on it was kicking in a lot more than I am used to. On 7 I got wheelspin pulling out in a straight line. On 8 and 9 I think it's too sensitive for street use. The transmission was kicking down to a lower gear with the slightest application of the throttle. If I used them on the street I would probably use manual mode.
My instructions still indicate EC mode is not supported with our cars so I did not try it.
My normal setting will be SP3 or 4.
I recommend it. It does improve your butt dyno feel, I have yet to hear any actual performance gains. But I can't imagine it not improving your 0-60 performance.

Check this thread for more reviews.

Get it, it's a no brainer....

Plenty of topics here to see the results this VTC has on the LFX motor...

I have a 2013 LFX 3.6L Auto V6 with a CAI, VMax ported and polished TB, not much else and adding the Throttle Controller brought together the performance of all mods. Im very happy with the performance now. A very noticeable and cheep plug and play mod where you will be happy with the end result. I think the #9 is too crazy for everyday driving and the thing seems to add extra performance and sensitivity when the traction control and limited slip is turned off. I can smoke the tires with the stock 18's due to these 3 mods That's why I have bought Hurst 20's for this summer. You can I expect to see an increase in felt performance like I have and well worth the price - besides he has a money back guarantee ! cant go wrong !

I think I'll go ahead and order.
Will do my best to make a well lit install video and a review.
...Maybe I can even get some before after 0-60 shots...
Thanks to everyone for the replies.

Except this guy

I didn't say that I couldn't find a topic, I just asked if I would feel it with my specific setup.
Maybe if you spent more time reading my post, and less time selecting emojis, you would have picked up on that.

I have all the mods that you have and a few others; Apex air scoop, Solo High Flow Cats, MRT V2 Exhaust with Magnaflow Resonated X-Pipe, JacFab Extendolator Intake Manifold Spacer, JacFab Ported Intake Manifold, Vitesse Motorsports Throttle Controller and an IPF Tune and they all play nice with each other. I have had no issues whatsoever. Prior to the installation of the Throttle Controller, the IPF tune provided the greatest butt dyno improvement. However, when I installed the TC and put it on SP9 with all the nannies off and put it in sport mode, the car is absolutely insane off the line and is by far the best bang for your buck performance mod for our vehicles. Somewhere in the sponsors section under the Vitesse Motorsports Throttle Controller thread, myself and rtcatman did several 0-60 runs. Almost all the 0-60 runs were plagued by wheel spin at launch. When I first got my car, a stock 0-60 run was around 5.8-6.3 seconds. With all the mods that I have now its gone down to as low as 5.3 so I've knocked it down by almost half a second. I'm going to be doing a suspension and tire upgrade very soon and hope to get it down to 5.0 even, which I think, is the best you can get naturally aspirated with full bolt on's and a tune. I'm almost out of options as far as bolt ons. The only other thing thats left is an underdrive pulley and gears but I just don't think the price to performance ratio on those mods is really worth it. I have yet to see cams, and we can't do headers on the LFX so that is out. After these last mods, I'm done and will be waiting to see what the 2016 SS brings to the table or wait for the 50th anniversary edition in 2017.

CORRECT, I wrote up a few reviews in a few of the threads, not sure where they are at, but they are in the threads on this forum somewhere.

Easily one of the best performance items we can buy for the money for our V6 Camaro.

Probably the mods need to merge all the Vitesse threads.

You're why camaro5 needs downvotes.

I was skeptical myself. Now I cannot imagine driving my Camaro without it.
