Yup, the dead-spot on initial tip-in was the one thing about the (largely perfect) car which was really bugging me. So I think as far as mods go it was good value. IMHO the 4 settings are a little bit of unnecessary bling tho, just one of the settings works just fine and you don't find yourself changing settings.

..now if only there was a mod to turn off the VSC without having to enter the cheat code with the pedals on startup...

I just order one from carson the price was not that bad .First I was going too get the sprint booster, it was for $330 but then carson had the blitz for $350 and I would be able to turn it off and on which is a plus other than the sprint which is on all the time .

^downside of the Blitz unit however is that it defaults to "off" everytime you start the car, so you have to remember to turn it on all the time (which also means you can't install it somewhere inconvenient, like say in the centre console)

Not sure...
http://www.blitz.co.jp/new-product/t...controller.pdf

This is the Japanese application chart, but because GS300 was never sold there (only GS350) it's not listed. But since GS350, 460 & 430 are the same part# it's a pretty good chance that it'll work just fine.

Well, I've hit the speed limiter many times and its 100% worth it but if you want to keep going 140-145mph more power to you, I'll just pass you at 155mph+

I can't find a reason it's not worth it unless you can't afford one!

I just put in one and I must say I love it *** soon as you tap the gas the car jumps and the trac light up even when I turned off thr trac and hit thr gas , when the car see too much wheel spin it cut thr trac back on, and thats what pissing me off right now .

so this module will remove the speed governor, not just change throttle Characteristic?

^No, I think those guys are talking about somethin unrelated. The Blitz unit just fixes the throttle, nothing more.
