Default Throttle controller for LS460

Has anyone installed either a Blitz or Tom's throttle controller in an LS460 yet, or been in a car that has one installed? I'm wondering how easy it is to install, and if it makes a significant difference.

I did the installed in My LS and IS-F..... you should get it, make a lot of different, you get the power right away once you step the paddle, no lag whatsoever.... Totally worth the money

just wondering why lexus didn't calibrate it to be more responsive? any downside to doing this mod? I do feel going on the freeway without kickdown the throttle is very lagging and the car won't accelerate unless you downshift two gears.

no downside, it's a matter of how they target their audience. when too sensitive, i have seen people complain saying it's too sensitive. you just can't please everyone

THe downside is that you might have to play a little bit more for gas, but if you ask me, it is totally worth it...
