Soler Performance Throttle Controller Review

[huntr1117]

A little over a month ago Mike@solerpreformanceLLC posted a thread about sending out some of his Throttle Controllers for a few members to review. I received one of them and have been using it daily for a month now. I’m extremely impressed. Not only is there a night and day difference in the throttle response, but the quality of the device/packaging as well. The install was a breeze. I know there’s a lot of people that think something like this is a waste of money. I was one of those people too until I tried one. I didn’t think there would be a noticeable change in my throttle response because my truck is already tuned. It honestly feels like I’m driving a totally different truck. The truck just moves now as soon as you press the pedal. The throttle controller DOESN’T add any horsepower. All it does is take the spongy/lag out of your pedal. There is a total of 37 different settings. After trying all the settings I’ve settled on Comfort Level 5. You can go higher depending on your personal preference. If you go too high it makes the throttle feel jumpy. The only negative thing I can say about it is the 3M tape on the back that you use to mount it. I cleaned the area I wanted to mount it to with rubbing alcohol and let it dry. The tape would not stick. It wasn’t a big deal though because I had some extra 3M tape in the garage. I’ve attached a pic of where I mounted it. You don’t even notice it while driving. The LED light is dull so it’s not distracting at all.

A little history on my truck. It’s a 17 6.2. Even bone stock the throttle response was horrible. I did the paint sick mod, that helped. Then I had the ecm and tcm tuned. That also helped, but it still had the lag. About a year ago I installed a 7-inch lift and 35s, that definitely made the truck feel sluggish. I know I should probably re-gear, but spending $2k-$3k on my truck with a new baby at home would be financially irresponsible. This should have been one of my 1^st mods and for only $75 it’s worth it. Thanks again to Mike@solerpreformanceLLC.

Thanks for posting up the review. I was on the fence about buying this when I saw the previous thread in this forum about the soler throttle controller, but I'm convinced now. Gonna buy mine shortly.

I let my old neighbor drive mine with the controller since he has a 16 5.3. He purchased the controller the next day. Lol.
