Since I have all you 3 pedal guys here, have any of you used a throttle controler? My biggest complaint with the manual isn't the manual, it's the f@cking delayed throttle responce. Rev hang sucks and not being able to rev match on the downshift drives me freaking nutty.
Throttle controllers are garbage and can cause havoc on a Canbus system. And they won’t fix rev hang. Even the “good” ones. The cost of one is a third of the way to a custom tune which will give you all the throttle response in the world plus 400 other benefits.

Rev hang is addressed with torque tables, spark timing, and cam timing.

Completely different vehicle after tuning.

I have a Sport S (3.45 diffs 🙁) 3.6/6-sp. The combination of the gearing, poor throttle programming, the problematic high valve lift at 1800 &2800, and generally low torque below 3000 was disappointing.
A PedalMonster really helped but only with initial takeoff. Just get a tune, instead.
Brad’s tune also corrected the throttle response in addition to correcting other factory tuning deficiencies. 6th gear is now usable.

That's what I was afraid of. I'll go dive into your yotube channel, thanks!

I opted for the 4.88 (6 spd). I liked the gearing much more when I went to 37s.
I would 4.56 is more ideal for 35s but since regearing is expensive you really can get by with 4.10s. If money is no issue, go with 4.56.
