^^ panson- i think it's a great idea. I was just in the car today thinking that "i wish that I didn't have to push the gas pedal as much as I am to get the rpm's to move" then thought just touch the gas a little (barely touch it to see a 500 rpm jump) instead of 1/4 down to see movement would be perfect. And of course thought of this thread! When I get the money, and you have it on the market I will be thinking about trying it.
The biggest question today was.. okay you put it in but what will the ECU show as far as something bypassing it? can the dealer see this? Would that void the warranty for the ECU??

Thanks for the comment.
Unlike tuning or reflashing which changes the map of fuel/air of your combustion engine, adjustable throttle controller works like a modifier to simply manipulate the signal being sent from gas pedal toward throttle body to make the throttle regulator open faster/slower. Therefore, it has no direct effect to your ECU.
Also, since the kit is an easy plug-n-play, you only need to unplug 2 connectors to get the whole thing off of your car. Thant means, you can always unplug it every time you need to go to dealership.
Personally, I think the best part of this device is the multi adjustable ability. We even have customer use our kit as a switch for VALET or letting their friend drive. This turns their monster into a pusy cat for the foolish while they are away from their car.
Again, appreciate any comments or suggestions

The kit won't change the rpm point when your auto tran usually shifts. However, you will be thrown back to your seat if your floor at SP7 (highest sports mode, usually used at drag racing or mountain drifting condition)
