CHC, where did you hear about a delay? Last I heard, the 3rd gen f-bodies were investigated for "sudden acceleration", but found "not guilty", and no delay was added to the computer.

(Sudden acceleration is when a lot of little kids that don't know how to drive get into accidents. The kids whine that the car is too powerful, and accelerated too quickly for them to control. So the government steps in, and makes the auto manufacturer put a delay into the computer chip to prevent this. Stupid whining kids.)

Its not really a delay, its more the sensor reads below the actual position untill 60-70% throttle. There is already many a plug in "kit" that eliminates this. Casper makes it for 60?...

Anyway I got the reply from this "mirical" guy and its nothing more then a chip(s) that make the comp go to 14.7 F/A ratio. he says it makes the car thik the intake air is colder then it is....

Well our sensor is in the air intake tube, thats kinda pointless isn't it. Its getting about the coldest air it already needs right.

Casper makes TPS-TEC that fools the computer into thinking that you're @ WOT when the throttle is @ 75+%.

i've seen similar garbage like this in eBay before. it is basically a $0.50 resistor that goes on the wire for the AIT sensor to fool the computer to thinking colder air is coming in. higher resistance means colder air.
