THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A throttle control system for providing a driver of a vehicle with greater control over engine performance, the system comprising:
- a control module for sending signals directly to a throttle body of the engine;
a wiring harness for electrically coupling the control module with a throttle pedal and the throttle body; and
a signal adjuster for enabling manual adjustment of throttle responsiveness of the vehicle.

Abstract
A throttle control system and methods are disclosed that provide a driver of a vehicle with greater control over engine functions and vehicle performance. The throttle control system processes input signals from a throttle pedal of the vehicle and sends modified throttle position signals to a throttle body of the vehicle so as to increase throttle responsiveness of the vehicle. The throttle control system includes a control module, a wiring harness, and a signal adjuster. The wiring harness electrically couples the control module with the throttle pedal and the throttle body. The control module sends signals directly to the throttle body of the engine, bypassing an electronic control unit of the vehicle. The signal adjuster includes a rheostat that enables manual adjustment of the throttle responsiveness of the vehicle. A control dial coupled with the rheostat facilitates hand operation of the rheostat.
