Where are your throttle body controller located?

You know very well nobody is going to change your mind, but I think we can live with that.

I guess I just don't understand why you sound so hostile about these. Nobody is making you use one or calling you a fool for not using one. You know there are people in here that love their TC's, and that shouldn't bother or affect you, so I don't understand why the need to create an argument?

Too many people buy these thinking it actually makes their car faster, because that’s how the company advertises it. Especially on the trucks. Also, they cause more issues than they’re worth.

There are plenty of us who don’t have a problem with the use of a TC. You seem to think that being a spokesperson for what’s wrong with them is somehow going to save the masses from problems to their vehicles. If you think their wrong than, so should everyone else? The thread isn’t about if a TC is worth it or anything of that nature. Just push the gas pedal more?....you don’t get it.

Okay, so I'll write one more time that "I have tune" (from Dynosteve) and the linear behavior of the accelerator pedal has improved a bit.
But not as I would have imagined.

A few weeks ago I installed ported throttle body, and it's a little better again.
But I'm still not satisfied.

Therefore, I will try to assign a throttle body controller and set the linear behavior of the accelerator pedal to my liking.


But since you have the L99, the non-linear behavior of the accelerator pedal is not so obvious with automatic shifting. Which I understand.

If you drive with the clutch from an early age and you're used to 1:1, then the gas behavior of this car is driving you crazy.

I don't expect the car to be faster, stronger, bigger, smaller after installation and I don't know what else.
This is all I want the accelerator pedal to do....

Nothing more, nothing less.

I agree with you 100%. I have a tune from Steve and a Bo White ported TB.I ran like that for a while and was unhappy so I put the controller back on. No where near the same.

Cool vid George!! And I hope that controller works for ya. All I know is I don't have one on my Camaro and my throttle response is as crisp and quick, maybe even quicker than the vid, but that is just how MY throttle feels. I couldn't imagine it being any quicker or sharper than it is now, I just tap it and it responds, all the way to WOT. Anybody that has rode with me can't believe how snappy she is, they grab for something to hang onto and lean their head against the headrest when I throttle up!! lol. Good luck.

I like it too

When I handed the Camaro to the receiving technician to adjust the geometry after replacing the rear BMR arms, he also said that it was quite sensitive.
And it only had a tune.

I was bothered by 2 things that are almost perfect thanks to the tune and the new TB.

I don't know exactly what you call it "among throttle"?
When you release the clutch in neutral and tap the throttle, and as you are used to speeding throttle like other cars, nothing happens here. So you have to reckon with that and step on the gas unnaturally more for something to happen.

And the second thing is that when you faster engage, release the clutch - you step on the throttle (as you are used to from other cars) and car jerks because delay.

I could probably learn to drive this car as it is. But I think it's easier to customize your car than to change your driving style.

I'm glad we understand each other

It’s the amount of time it takes for the throttle plate to react to the push of the pedal. Not how far you push the pedal. That’s what lag means. Pushing the pedal down 30% opens the throttle plate 30%, not 50%. Just does it faster, or slower, depending on TC adjustment. Laziness has nothing to do with it. It’s technically more complicated than that but, that’s the simplest explanation.

I don’t notice any lag. Then again I’ve had a ported throttlebody for like the last 30,000 miles.

Not surprised that your "Dyno Steve " tune isn't what u expected.

You wrong understand me.
Tune as such is not bad at all.
Goes only the accelerator pedal response.
It Dynosteve adjusted what the ECM allowed.
I hope the rest will be provided by the TB controller.


Otherwise, don't worry that I forgot your advice.
I slowly began to go through this and began to gather basic information.
But it's not easy at all and don't forget that I'm just getting started.

Plus, I'm struggling with English a bit, so it takes me a little longer.

[George-CZ]

A small attempt ..

But I'll probably leave it at that.

[George-CZ]

Installed, connected, calibrated and tested according to the instructions.
And it's absolutely amazing!
This device together with the ported throttle body did exactly what I asked for from this package.

Program SP.8 and SP.9... These are my settings

[1JEWLDSSRS]

Awesome brother!! Have fun, be careful..

Do you mean when it was working? Right now it's in a box with the stock parts I took off. When it worked for 18 months it was above the steering column between the gauges.
