For a auto yes....manual no.

I had one in my auto V6 and it worked good.

It's a waste of money in a manual car.

Why would it be a waste in a manual?

Yes, why this difference

It's a waste in any vehicle. It just fools the car into opening the throttle faster. The ZL1 has a very good throttle response as it is.

[Scott@Bjorn3D]

Works great on my LS3. Best bang for the buck I have spent.

The ZL1 has the best throttle response of all the Camaros from the factory.

The V6 has to most conservative from the factory. That's why most V6 cars love this plug-n-play mod.

I imagine the same holds true for the standard SS auto's as well.

The manual V8 cars will gain the least with this. It just opens your TB quicker which in a manual can be done by you just pressing your foot down quicker.

I don't agree, we've seen big improvements of the Throttle response even on the Supercharged V8s and the ZL1s , both the Auto and Manual.

The Throttle response has nothing to do with how much power you already have. wether it's a V6 or a V8, Supercharged or not.

Also, even if you press the gas pedal quicker on a manual car, you will never make the Throttle Body Blade open faster than it usually does when Stock.

Not even a Tune can make the Throttle open faster than with our Controller.

Well of course you would disagree.....I get it.

Well I ordered one just to see if all the hype is for real, I mean what's a couple hundred bucks. I have read many reviews of users that have tried them, just not on the Z, so we shall see. The reviews I read were on both auto and manual and all were very positive to just unbelievable. I'll report back as soon as I can get some seat time. Hopefully someone with a Z has already tried one and could chime in.

I have a Sprint Booster and there is a big difference in thottle response. I highly recommend.

Its funny to me how people can knock the controller by stating how simple it works, or that its, "snake oil".

First, yes all of our cars have different throttle settings, and yes they differ from auto to manual. The one thing that's the same is the persistent throttle lagg. The reason why V6, SS and ZL1's all have different degrees of lagg is a result of how much power they have, not just the fact that they have different settings. Naturally the lag is increased for those that are underpowered. But honestly unless you log your data, pedal input VS throttle blade response, you can't tell the difference between lag and lack of power. You must have done extensive testing to measure the rate of delay in TB blade opening compared to pedal input. All that to determine that its different lag levels based on tune not power. I will admit I have not done that math.

I have always stated that higher HP cars will benifit from the controller less than the other crowd. Obviously a SC car that is pretty much ready to go when you touch the throttle is going to have less lag, and not enjoy the increased response.

It does speed up the rate that the blade opens once you go WOT. Not much faster but it does never the less. Where the Controller really gets its performance from, is that basically its telling the PCM that at the moment you change the angle of the pedal the blade is actually farther along than it really is. So that's not something that can be accomplished with a tune.

If you have spent any time reading any reviews of the controller you would see that so far 99% of the people that have installed them, love them, to include the ZL1 crowds, auto and manual, alike. I have read one review ware the person said they didn't notice anything, and that was on an SS. More than ten or twenty people have purchased this mod, more like hundreds. That many people saying almost the exact same thing to include all crowds of owner personalities and types of Camaros, tells me that the common theme is it works as advertised.

Its got a 100% money back grantee, what do you have to loose?

It absolutely is adjustable in the tune.
