Is anyone using a vitesse controller along with a custom tune? I recently had some work done. Had my 2010 camaro ss tuned and was told that the controller would be useless. So I have a brand new controller that I can't use. Curious to see if anyone still used one after getting a custom tune? Thanks!

I have a custom tune. I was skeptical about the Vitesse. But since I installed it I cannot go back to driving my car without it. About a month and a half ago I had to uninstall it for about a day. And I'm telling you, I don't know how I got along without it. The thing is, you won't notice what you're missing until you use it. So if you're not gonna use it, then do not install it. Because once you do you won't be able to enjoy the car without it.

What BlaqWhole said...You can definitely feel the difference even with a tune and I only have mine set to SP5!

It won't make any difference on the track tho. But DDing and around town it def will. I was keeping mine at 5 but it seems that on that setting every few weeks I get a code related to the throttle position and it goes into reduced power mode. But it only happens on level 5. So now I keep it on 3. If I wanna really rip I put it on 7.

I also have a custom tune and kept the throttle controller after the tune. Most of the people that say it is useless are ones that don't even it in their cars. Definitely makes a big difference for DD and makes the car even more fun to drive.
