The pedal response is where it all starts, interfacing with the driver, and the throttle valve (body) response characteristic airflow curve is where it all ends, interfacing with the engine air. Therefore no throttle modification is complete without taking care of these two ends of the system. If these two modifications are already competing for the first spot on their own, just imagine them working together.
Introducing Total Throttle Control, the perfect match of our Modified Throttle Bodies and our Throttle Controller, for a fully customizable experience of pedal feel and throttle performance.
Both very easy to install, warranty-safe, transformational, and affordable package.

Mike, as you know, I'm a satisfied user of your modified 95mm LT5 throttle body, and now I'd like to ask a technical question about the Soler throttle controller.
It seems to me that the unit is powered from the pedal assembly itself, and according to the competition (no secret, it's Banks), this may pose a safety issue on cars that have too little power reserve on that circuit, causing a MIL and loss of pedal functionality, see the screenshot below. For this reason their product uses the OBD-II port to draw power from.
Does the Camaro have a similar exposure to this problem, say, via a razor thin safety margin on the connection your throttle controller is drawing power from? If yes, is your throttle controller safe, ie does it leave enough reserve on the circuit?
Thank you for your response in advance.
