I installed it my self cost was around 320.00 If I remember correctly. Very easy install. I chose to put the controller switch control unit in my ash tray since I dont smoke, I really feel that it eliminates the dead spot and the car is much more responsive .

I recently installed the throttle controller and have a mixed opinion. The throttle response is improved but, the controller also reduces torque converter slippage. Good when your accelerating, not good when your slowing down or trying to maintain a particular speed.

For me the ride is jerky in all modes but ECO (or economy). It's like your tapping the brake when you let off the gas or try to maintain a certain speed. Kinda like riding with a bad driver that accelerates and then taps the brakes all the time.

For this reason I only drive with the ECO mode on or the unit off. If I want to mess around I turn the unit on.

If Blitz could fix the deceleration problem this thing would be GREAT.
