Basically it's a module that allow the driver to adjust what's called... the "Throttle-Curve"

It alters the values between the actual-throttle-position and the ECU-throttle-position.

Therefore, when the gas pedal is 50% depress and ECU might thought it's at 60% or 70%.

By reading its diagram, the adjustment is most effective through the mid-range.

I am not sure how much it can improve/correct the problem that Mr.kenchan is experience since he is complaining the initial throttle-response.

Which...the pedalbox has the minimum effect on that position.

My opinion, this module is more suitable for track use since the driver can:


1) Adjust the throttle-response according to different track lay-out.

2) weather condition (dry/high traction surface more responsive vs wet/low traction less responsive)



On top of that, I am wondering the adjustment will lose its "effectiveness", not from the device itself, but the driver itself will get used to responsiveness of the throttle.


alcheng's conclusion: Save the $499.


CAD$0.02
Exactly right, good observation Mr.alcheng.
