Nope none of us use one. Of course there are a lot of us that have them. It's a fun little addition.

I have to disagree. I got my VTC, then installed headers, HFC's and then had a remote tune done by Dyno Steve. I'm not sure if any of the parameters in Steve's tuning affect the throttle response specifically, but I can still tell a difference by simply going down to SP1 from where I usually keep it at SP7. The difference is noticable. The tune gave the motor a noticable lift in performance, but the throttle controller still affects the responsiveness of the input to the pedal.

throttle control

[QUOTE=Camaro45rs;9494114]I just bought the Vetesse Throttle Controller and im really excited does anyone use it currently and if so how do you like it?[/QUOTE

I've had mine for three years with no problems, I have a vmaxTB,resonator deleted true x-pipe,JBA cats,atak mufflers & a Cai,last summer I ran the vetesse on #7 along with the new 3:91's it feels great,
With the M6 you have to shift quick because the rpm really rise fast,no hesitation at all,alot of response for a small price.Enjoy!

I've been using one for a couple years, it really helps with the V6 dead throttle and have had no problems with it... And not going to lose my warranty for a tune, at least not yet anyway!!! And since I do track my car, discovered a nice little perk with it, in the rain instead of having to really baby the throttle around every turn put it down on eco mode and really helps keep the car in control when the track is wet!!! JMHO

I have one, pulled it out after cam/exhaust/tune. It's just lying on my workbench. I should post it for sale.

It's sad that drivers have to resort to electronic aids instead of learning to modulate the throttle, brakes, and clutch for the conditions.

And the silly arguments about the throttle not opening 100% at low RPMs just means the engineers have devised a way to improve the airflow to the forward cylinders by canting the throttle plate under low RPM conditions. And the motor is still receiving all the air it can use.
