anyone use a the madness gopedal? have a vap tune

 

The main benefit of a throttle booster is to overcome initial turbo lag so much lower bang for buck in our f-type vs others . Can't justify wasting$300 knowing this as car plenty fast enough for me as is and never get to use more than 50% of its capabilty anyways. Loved it on other cars that i have had though.

 

If you are not addressing turbo lag, the effect is to open the throttle wider for any given amount of pressure on the pedal, correct? The engine FEELS more powerful, but does not actually make more power, right?. This would make it harder to modulate the throttle when launching or accelerating out of a turn. When the Viper was in development the engineers actually tuned it to make the throttle open more slowly for that reason, to make it easier to control, and less likely to oversteer into a wall.

Is this thing doing more than just opening the throttle more? Is it pushing whatever traction control is present to more aggressive behavior? Isn't that also recipe for power oversteer? On the track, with a highly skilled driver, I can see this might buy you a tenth or two, but doing this to a street driven VAP tuned R, especially if RWD, seems like a bad idea to me.

And wouldn't this be part of a VAP tune if it was truly desirable?

What am i missing? Thanks.
