Thumbs up Viteese Throttle Controler

I ordered and installed one of these in my 14 SS. When I ordered, I was about 75% certain it was a sham even after reading reviews on the site. $175.00 just seemed to good to be true for any performance benefit, but I figured "What the hell"? Boy, I was pleasantly surprised after installing. Definitely improves throttle response. In my opinion, out of all the bolt on mods I have done, this has been biggest bang for the buck. Still waiting for little gremlin to jump out of it saying..... ha..ha..ha... got ya!!

IIRC, isnt it on the forums for $180? Not that $5 should sound like a big deal.

I don't mean to be the one but I guess I will be, are these not essentially the same thing as the "chips" that flooded ebay when drive by wire first became a thing years ago? You know the ones that swore they made more power and improved this and that but was just a voltage booster for the TPS?

I KNOW THESE DO NOT CLAIM MORE HP, but are they not the same thing?

yes. It's like dropping the hammer when you leave a stop sign, but only pressing on the pedal a little bit. I convinced someone in our club that I installed one by accelerating hard every time the light turned green. They are waiting on it to be delivered. they don't need to know how hard I was pressing on the gas pedal, as long as they like what they install, and are happy with it, all is good.

Of all the products we carry, we get more rave reviews for the throttle controller than anything else. We have not had anyone say they were disappointed.

I really like mine. How many of these do you see for sale as a used part? None, everyone who bought one is keeping it. That should be enough to settle any doubts.

Will the controller work on an engine that has a cam and dyno tune or will you need to tune the engine again? Thanks

It doesn't interact with the ECM tuning at all. You can install it without messing with anything else.
