Vitesse throttle controller question - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So what exactly does the throttle controller do?

I think it helps you get off the hole faster, im i right?

And if so, let's say there's a mustang next to me. Will I beat him on launch?

Yeah!!! I'd like to know as well, there seems to be no information on this thing. I wish someone would buy one and let us know how it is, and if it works. How much is it, where can we get one?

Someone

Don't know if your joking or being rude. But only posted this to stay on the topic of my question. I saw the big thread of the controller that has over 40,000 views and there they talk about everything that comes with it. (How they like it, problems with it, prices, etc...)
I'm just looking for a simple answer.

Alters the electric signal to get the throttle response to be faster.

I thought this thread was a joke too. Your last question about the mustang would make anyone think the same.

CamaroCrazyChavez · 02-03-2015, 07:42 PM

Oh I see why lol.
Just that my friend just got a mustang and he says he'll smoke me.

Someone did some some 0-60 runs with/without and gained a few tenths of a second with.

VTC comes with a guarantee that you'll beat any and all Mustangs off the line.

Dont know about beating the mustang but it will definatly improve your "off the line" and the shifting advances faster. It is a noticable difference. even between the settings. it was the single most noticable/effective mod i have done.

I just bought the VTC.
I installed it this weekend, easy install, hardest part is climbing in upside down.
I was not even able to drive my car as it is in storage.
However, prior to install, I warmed up the engine and hit the throttle a few times. After the install, I set the VTC to SP6. I revved again, there was DISTINCT, IMMEDIATE, and VERY NOTICABLE difference in how fast the response was. It felt very similar to a drive by cable system with instant throttle response.

This is my experience too. An immediate reaction to pressing the pedal down.

There is ATLEAST 500 or more reviews already on this bro in another thread checkem out.

Explanation of Throttle Response

Throttle response is how fast it takes from the time you mash the accelerator pedal to the time the engine RPM rises and how fast it rises. Throttle response is all about the time delay in the control system which alters the air pressure in the inlet manifold. It's only the time delay between moving the driver's right foot and changing the amount of air available at the inlets.
A more responsive 400hp engine will outrun (other than top speed) a less responsive yet more powerful 450hp engine on the track assuming driver skills and vehicle suspension tire adhesion etcetera being equal in the same car every time.
When you open the throttle it responds by sucking in more air and adding more fuel. The power increase is caused because your RPM's rise. The faster your RPM's rise the faster your car can reach max power.
Cold air intakes / ported throttle bodies / ported inatkes .... will all give some addittional maximum power but a Throttle Controller's biggest benefit is allowing the engine RPM to rise faster which translates to reaching maximum power sooner which means the car will be accelerating faster.

How the Throttle Controller will affect your driving:

1- Daily Driving or at the Race Track:
Our Camaros are equipped with a drive-by-wire system and the throttle response is affected badly by this and as most of us feel a noticeable delay when quickly changing the position of the gas pedal. ( You will understand and feel this delay after you install your new Controller ). The Throttle response delay / Lag is an intentional design on the "Drive by Wire system and the reasons are:

• Decreasing emissions
• Not allowing the engine components to do anything harsh.
• Safety and drivability.
• Comfort.
• Fuel economy

Driving Pleasure:

Throttle response plays a major role in driving pleasure, as this gives the driver more control over the vehicle's acceleration or deceleration. If you have a very precise throttle response, it will not only make your driving maneuvers a lot more predictable but makes you feel more comfortable pushing the car's limits on corners.
On a race track, while entering a corner, the requested power output is reduced since the vehicle is coasting or braking. After passing the corner, the driver will suddenly request more power to accelerate back to normal speeds. Fast throttle response allows a vehicle to regain its speed quickly after cornering. Drifting requires very precise and instant throttle response on a rear-wheel drive car, one wants to increase torque on the rear wheels at a precise moment in a corner to make it turn the car more in the direction of the road ahead past the corner, and make it stop at a precise moment or the car will spin out of control. No matter what the maximum engine power is, if the throttle response is slow, you will not be able to have control or do this maneuver.
