Oh maybe. That's a good point. I do have to get used to it

I stalled once when i first put it in but it started right up. It takes a while getting used to the power delivery but once you adapt it wont be a problem. Be careful going into reverse! to much speed when you let out the clutch fully.

Yes I agree! I back into my garage, I have to switch it back to 0!

Damn it must be a major difference..
That u gotta put it to 0 in reverse sh***** im thinking i might just do sp4 or 5 when i wanna try someone or get tried. Kinda use it as a fake boost.

Sounds like everyone is getting these pretty fast when they order so I am not worried, just wondering if everyone received a confirmation with tracking number? I haven't so thought I would ask.

No tracking email. Send a PM to horizin670 and he'll give you the USPS tracking#

Saw a device similar to this last year on Motorhead TV called the Sprint Booster. Also read about it on the Corvette Forums last year.

Here's a good video showing what they do with the gas pedal and throttle body.

I will be ordering tomorrow.

What makes this product nice, is that its less than 200 dollars....184 to be exact. The others are a more money.

Redslayer15821 · 10-13-2014, 03:55 PM

Order placed. expecting shipment Wednesday, very pleased with the customer service experience so far. Excellent company.

Installed my throttle controller about 4 days ago on my 2014 V6. I cycled through SP0-9 a few times and decided to just stick with SP9. SP9 on the V6 makes the car MUCH more "jumpy", and you can definitely feel her want to take off when you hit the gas. It is not uncontrollable by any means, and I adjusted completely to SP9 after about 2 days of driving. It now feels "normal" to me, and when I switch back to SP0, the car feels straight up sluggish. I never really noticed the throttle lag until I installed the throttle controller.

For the last 4 days, I've been driving it around town in various daily driving scenarios, as well as a 350 highway-mile trip (No noticeable effect on MPG). No CELs or any other issues. This thing pretty much does what everyone is saying. I highly recommend this mod. Its a super-easy 5-minute install and you can feel the difference instantly.

Another thing I really like about it is that I can switch from SP9 to SP0 with the push of 1 button. Being able to switch to a less aggressive setting is awesome for those situations when you have to drive grandma around, or are picking up a date and you don't want her snapping her neck when you take off.

The main reason why I pick up dates in my camaro is to snap their necks...well that sounded terrible...lmao if they don't like the car then it's a no go for me

they should be laughing and smiling when their..uhm..neck snaps :P

Just installed mine. Took all of two minutes. It will take me longer to decide where to mount the controller. Just tucked it away for now. If anyone comes up with something great, post up the picks. Only idea I have latched on to so far is to make an aluminum bracket that I can attach to the steering column. Then it would sit just below the digital display of the dash.

Went for a quick drive. Initially I think I will like SP7. I should get a better feel for it over the next few days.

I hope to see if it helps the 0-60 times this weekend. I had just made several runs for 0-60 about a week ago, so I should have a good comparison. Pretty much apples to apples, no other changes to the car.

19car69 · 10-14-2014, 01:44 PM

I forgot to mention, I did try the setting at SP9. My traction control would kick in every time I went to accelerate fast. I found it easier to control the grip on SP7. If you were just out having some fun and didn't mind burning through some tires, SP9 with Stabilitrack and traction control turned off would be incredible amounts of fun.
