The advent of electronic throttle (or "drive-by-wire") systems in late model cars presents a unique tuning opportunity. On these cars, the throttle plate is modulated by an electronic signal that is connected to the accelerator pedal. Because this system is based upon voltage readings from a sensor, it can be easily modified with an electronic controller. Controlling the ratio of pedal-to-throttle opening allows the driver to dial in precisely the feeling needed, whether its quick blips of the throttle for heel-toe driving technique or de-sensitizing the pedal for economy mode driving. Now, the driver has this under his control with the Buddy Club e-Throttle Booster.

Since it is adjustable, the driver can change preferences "on the fly" or leave them set up for track or off-road preference. The Buddy club E-Throttle Booster also utilizes an "Economy" Mode that allows the driver to de-tune throttle response for the most fuel economy with the least amount of driver effort. This new idea is now being implemented as optional equipment on late model vehicles, and may soon be an available feature on all new electronic throttle cars. The increase in fuel savings will more than pay for the unit itself in a short amount of time. Conversely, dual-purpose vehicles that see highway time in addition to serving weekend warrior duty can now implement an additional level of automatic control and fine-tuning that's never been available before. A quick flick of the knob is all it takes to maximize your throttle effort. Like the short throw shifters that came before them, the e-Throttle Booster incorporates technology and an revised driving experience that will have you hooked once you try it. You may never have to "push the pedal to the metal" to achieve the wide-open throttle response that you need during spirited driving maneuvers.
