No they dont but Ive seen a couple fitted to our cars so I will also give it a try. Apparently they are very popular in Japan.

Sounds interesting.. Please keep us posted.. Im sure many will follow if.. it makes the vehicle more responsive.

The correct one should be 14660 which doesn't seem available in the USA if appliable.
Plus the US spec units don't use the same product/code number as Japan.
(For example, 14666 for GS350/430 in Japan and 10411 for GS350/430 in US)

Gamma check out the two videos in this thread. Its plug and play 20 minutes to install and you can see the effect it has on the throttle.

Its for taking out the lag on initial acceleration caused by the drive by wire thats all, no gains in power, hp etc.
If anyones interested I have a contact who can get the 14660 SC430 unit.

That's a cool toy. I'm really interested to hear how effective it is.
Also wondering if Economy mode is going to retard the throttle response even more, or maybe just bypass the blitz throttle controller all together, to basically give you a stock throttle response.
Are there any posts yet by someone who has it installed?

If you look at the image graph it shows that even the economy mode takes out the lag at the start. TBH I would think the SP3 mode would be really overkill. The car should feel alot fast and responsive just because you have to do less to get to that point.

I'm REALLY looking forward to hearing aquanuke's opinion of this thing in action.
I know, according to that article, it won't make a difference when you just floor it but, I get most frustrated when you want to a bit faster and the car doesn't want to go...you have to press the go pedal further than (I think) you should have to. The car needs a mode that's sportier than "Power".
