Throttle Controller on track?

Hey everyone, i know throttle controllers are a hot topic occasionally so i kind of want to keep this thread simple. I have a Soler Performance Throttle Controller and generally drive around with it on SP4. This Saturday is my first track day and was curious if those of you with throttle controllers keep it on the OE setting for track days or keep it on your usual throttle controller setting when on track? What are the benefits, or downfalls if any? thanks for any help!

Who did your tune if you don't mind me asking. Also not sure if you saw but any tunes on cars in california will fail smog.....

Nope, change mine to the LU-5 setting, which is the default for that level. IMHO it makes the throttle more responsive. Most likely in my head, but what the hell! Never had an issue!

Only thing they’ll see is the rotofab and that’s an easy 10 minute swap in 8 years when i need to smog it, if i even have it by then.

I personally wouldn't run any Throttle Controller on a track as they have the potential to cause havoc with the electronics and can cause a limp mode situation. I say turn it off or remove it and only use it on the street.
