I'm guessing some sort of wire in ecu thingy that sends a faster signal to the TB?

yeah you can get an intake and tune package for 200 more and have your throttle recalibrated and get more power at the same time. that thing is a huge waste of money.

Recalibrating the throttle response is different from the throttle DELAY. I love how people are so sure of something when they are not only wrong but they don't understand what they are talking about.

What this thing would seem to do is instead of sending the the throttle signal to the computer where it logged and then sent to the TB, it sends the signal DIRECTLY to the throttle body and just wires things to the actual pedal. This won't mess with your tune because the tune is reactive to the sensors on the engine not the input control.

I didnt say it messed with the tune. I said you could just get a twitchy throttle from a tune. This would give you basically the same results in terms of time before reaching WOT. With a tune, you also get more timing which gives you more power when running higher octanes, so its dumb to buy that thing he posted.
