Yah I disconnected mine after 1 day of use. It was interesting but having no real performance gain it had to go when the novelty wore off.

Vitesse vs. JMS PedalMax Throttle Controllers http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=432675 & my post#13 post#13 excerpt highlights ... "there have been a LOT of users who have had CEL/REP/Stabilitrac problems with the VTC (mostly with the higher settings) and some that happened after mos of use with mid-range settings suggesting the quality of the VTC control unit is questionable given its made in China" "Maybe the JMS control unit circuitry is better made with better parts and higher tolerances which would prevent CELs/REP/Stabilitac issuses ? "12/15/15 - Sent a email to JMS asking is their unit's circuit board made in USA , they said YES " |

This is pretty interesting. I would try out the jms pedalmax, but after the vtc I don't want to have to worry about going into reduced power mode again and it's a little bit more pricey. I do like how they are at least made in the USA.

Just got one of these
I just got one of these and installed it. I did notice a difference when I push the gas pedal. 2012 Camaro V6 LS - have no other upgrades but planning on a couple.
Anyone have and feedback on these throttle controllers now? I have read almost this entire thread before I bought one. |

I still have mine as well. I don’t drive my car much (2012 with 57xx miles) but it works well. I never looked into the Eco mode. I remember when I first got it there was something about not using it but idk whatever happened with it.

Well mine lasted about five years. Kept getting reduced power and throttle problem. This went on for about a month where it would be fine and then all of a sudden I’d get the error message and have to reset the check engine light. Finally got tired of it removed it and everything’s working normally.

I actually do miss it but not enough to buy another one based on the failures. |

Interesting that even at SP0 it caused the code. Must be a circuit board failure. If mine starts to give me a problem I’m going to get a JMS PedalMax,made in America with quality circuit board components including gold pins by an established company with a history & stable of manufacturing electronic performance accessories compared to Vitesse (just compare their website info - there is no comparison). Vitesse is basically a one man business which buys a generic TC circuit board from china, brands it Vitesse, attaches GM harnesses and programs it for a Camaro. It costs about $100 more than the VTC but in this case I think you get what you pay for. BTW is yours a LS3 or L99?
