Default Toms Japan Linear Throttle Control System

Has anyone seen this? Do you think it would really help that much?

it would work but i think if you just work the throttle harder you would get the same effect. i think that the throttle in the xB2 is already quite linear so i would pass on this..

$500 is a little much for the tiny bit of performance this will produce...

Default TOM'S linear throttle response

The TOM's linear throttle response pretty much helps in achieving a better, faster reaction time as you press the gas pedal. In other words, the higher the setting, the more the throttle opens more with less throttle input (on the gas pedal).

The lowest setting keeps the throttle input pretty much the same as factory which is why its the most fuel efficient setting. The higher the setting, the higher the throttle input and thus the lower fuel efficiency. This can be beneficial in a race when your reaction time is of an escence. Like in a drag race, you want to save time anywhere possible.

This product does not provide the car with any increase in hp. It simply improves the throttle response.

I guess it's pretty much like the blitz one, just 150 bucks more
