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.

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...
