THROTTLE CONTROLLERS > DODGE

• Improve Throttle Response with Our Throttle Controller

  Our Throttle Controller eliminates the built-in delay on your electronic accelerator pedal, providing a faster engine response for a more immediate throttle reaction.

  With this controller, your vehicle's throttle will feel just like a hard cable-operated throttle body, commonly found on older cars.

  Key Features:

• Two Modes:

  • Sport Mode with 10 adjustable levels for enhanced throttle response.

  • Economy Mode with 8 adjustable levels to help improve fuel efficiency.

• Easy-to-Use Knob:
  The intuitive control knob lets you easily increase or decrease throttle response intensity and switch between different modes. It’s much simpler to use than competitors' remotes with tiny buttons.

• Plug-and-Play Installation:
  Installation is quick and hassle-free, using the exact same OEM harness with one simple plug to connect.

• Warranty-Friendly:
  Unlike engine tuners, our Throttle Controller will not void your factory warranty.

Explanation of Throttle Response:

Understanding Throttle Response: The Key to Faster Acceleration

Throttle response refers to the time it takes for the engine RPM to increase once you press the accelerator pedal. It's a critical factor in how quickly your car accelerates because it determines how fast the engine reacts to your input, adjusting air and fuel levels in real-time.

The faster your throttle response, the quicker your engine can reach its maximum power. This translates into better acceleration, particularly when you need it most. In fact, a more responsive 400hp engine will outperform a 450hp engine with slower throttle response on the track, assuming all other factors (like driver skills and vehicle setup) are the same.

When you press the accelerator, the throttle opens, allowing more air into the engine and prompting the ECU to add fuel. The faster your RPMs rise, the quicker your engine can deliver power.

While upgrades like cold air intakes, ported throttle bodies, or ported intakes can provide incremental gains in maximum power, the biggest benefit of a Throttle Controller is its ability to allow the engine RPM to rise sooner and faster. This results in your car reaching maximum power earlier, giving you a noticeable boost in acceleration.

How the Throttle Controller will affect your driving:

Throttle Response: Daily Driving vs. Race Track

Most modern cars are equipped with a drive-by-wire system, which controls throttle response electronically. However, this system often introduces a noticeable delay or lag when quickly adjusting the accelerator pedal. This delay is intentionally designed into the system for several reasons:

• Emissions Control: Helps manage emissions by regulating the throttle more precisely.

• Safety and Drivability: Reduces sudden accelerations for safer driving, especially in unpredictable conditions.

• Comfort: Provides smoother acceleration for a more comfortable driving experience.

• Fuel Economy: Aims to optimize fuel consumption by regulating throttle input and air/fuel mixture.

While these factors are important for everyday driving, they can limit the driving experience, especially in performance-driven environments like the race track. That’s where a Throttle Controller can help, improving throttle response and reducing lag for a more engaging and responsive driving experience.

Throttle Response: Key to Driving Control and Performance

Throttle response is a crucial element of driving pleasure, as it gives the driver more precise control over the vehicle’s acceleration and deceleration. A fast and responsive throttle makes driving maneuvers more predictable, enhancing driver comfort and confidence, especially when pushing the car’s limits in corners.

On the race track, throttle response becomes essential when entering and exiting corners. As you approach a corner, the car’s power output is reduced for coasting or braking. Upon exiting the corner, the driver demands more power to regain speed. A quicker throttle response helps the vehicle recover faster, accelerating back to normal speeds with precision.

In drifting, especially in rear-wheel-drive cars, a precise throttle response is essential. Drifting requires exact control of torque on the rear wheels at the right moment to help the car maintain its path through the corner and exit smoothly. If the throttle response is slow, controlling the car in this manner becomes challenging, and the risk of spinning out increases.

No matter the engine’s maximum power, a slow throttle response will make it difficult to execute these maneuvers with precision and control, impacting both track performance and driving enjoyment.
