Casper electronic's Throttle response calibrator

Saw this advertised in summit...its $89 a plugin module to supposedly eliminate hesitation when you floor it. I really hate this hesitation so im just wondering if anyone has used this and what do you think of it? It says it recalibrates your air/fuel mixture and timing at WOT, so can you get rid of this hesitation by adjusting something without buying this part. Or how about a shift kit, does the transgo shift kit affect this at all, cause im getting one soon.

I was looking at this casper piece too. All it does is advance timing a little right before it sends fuel to the engine. Id just bump up my timing and TPS sensor.

I believe it plugs inline with your TPS.

Try and shoot a guy named beach bum on the corvette forum an email. He installed something similar from TPIS i think on his vette. He is on this site as Tod85Vette or something like that. He seemed to think it was a worth while mod. It help around town throttle responce i beleive he said.

Seems to know his ****...he has a web site too. I dont have the address though.

I dont believe this one at all.I guess it reads your mine and knows when your gonna floor it and it tells everything to get ready?If I saw some numbers showing an improvement then maybe.
