Haha well it's not that. It kinda brings me to my next question. Is there a problem with programming the controller more than once? Does it counter eachother or anything ? Also has anyone notice SP9 get weaker as time goes on?
I don't want to blame my tune. After I put my ECU back to stock without disconnecting the controller, SP9 doesn't give me that wheel spin anymore

I *don't believe so*. I think it remembers even if total power loss (ie - battery dies), but someone from Vitesse would need to verify.

Should I get the Vitesse Controller? I have a 14 RS Camaro V6. Will having this void my warranty? What does this actually do? I am a daily driver would it help?

How does this affect gas mileage? The Vitesse Throttle Controller website was confusing as I didn't know if the description was referring to a decrease in gas mileage due to this or the "drive by wire" they were talking about.

These question have been asked and answered several times, I think you need to start reading.

It would be helpful if Vitesse made a sticky so we could just reference that.

Installed mine last night. Definitely feel a difference with the pedal. Not as spectacular to me as everyone makes it sound. I guess I'll have to bump it up to 9 to really see.

It's not doing anyone any good in a box, that's for sure!
Car is in storage....

How big of a hole did you have to drill?

About a 1/2 inch. I picked the smallest grommet I could find that would still stretch around the connector on the controller cable. So I used a grommet with an OD of 5/8" and fit it into a 1/2" hole. It came out looking pretty clean. I documented it too:

Leaving work I had it on SP7 from this morning and forgot about it. Got sucked to my seat pulling out the parking lot. Turned it up to SP9 on my way home and I definitey notice a difference in the pedal. It just opens up a lot faster. Barely push it and it's up to 50% throttle already and I feel as if I accelerate faster than before rather than gradually. Put it back to stock and it feels so unresponsive. I do still find I feel that lag tht it hard before some. Anyone else find this?
