Soler Tips: I just installed the controller on my Eray and it works great. First tip; When you attempt to remove the factory male plug, after you pulled the red tab back, you MUST SQUEEZE the small red button on the side, to release the clip. For reference, look at the Soler plug set up and take note of the small red button along the side. Soler mirrored GM’s plug. Second: I use the Valet mode, no#2, when I valet the car. Test it yourself, however, I think it still gives the Valet plenty of gas. And, with my Scan Disk 128 HD, I set up my PDR on constant record audio/video for extra security and loops every 5 hours. Third: Once I inputed the last four digits into the Soler app, I disconnected the small remote and just left all the wiring up behind the carpet near the pedal. It’s easier than running the line towards your center console. I recommend not using the little controller or leaving it in the car. Thieves can still mirror your key fob and if you have the remote in the car, the security portion of the controller is basically useless. The App works great. You just have to remember to “unlock” the controller before you start drifting into the street with no gas pedal😎
Hi Jay! Thanks for purchasing and glad you are enjoying it. With respect to Valet mode, try putting it on Valet 9. Appreciate reminding folks that after you push back the red lock clip of the stock gas pedal connector, it will not come out unless you pinch the secondary release. Enjoy! Joe @ Soler
What I like to do, from time to time, is switch it from Sport back to Original Equipment mode, just to remind myself how sluggish it feels without the controller!😂 And, I always switch it back to Original Equipment mode when I take the car in for service so that the tech isn’t surprised by the response 😳
Love it because it literally seems like each mod brings you a step closer to a actual GTLM experience on the street, like no other car can come close to for that price. Im really not sure how much faster a Ford GTD is than this car in the state of tune you have it is.
Justin the installation looked extremely easy and at the top of the list from Soler Throttle Controller for me is the pedal lock out since car theft is at a all time high.
Great vid, Justin! Very informative and helpful, as usual. I put the Soler throttle controller on my Z06 when I first got it in April of this year and I was blown away by the difference it made. A must have mod at a very reasonable price! Thanks, keep the great content coming 👍🙏
Nice, another part I have to get now. Throttle controller is a must have for all cars imo. On my mustang, it’s built into my tune but since the Z06 isn’t tunable and I won’t do it until the warranty is up, I’m gonna order this for myself for Christmas. lol I always buy myself the perfect gifts.
Does not change the tune at all so will not void your warranty. It remaps the sensor in the pedal to the throttle body, removing the lag and ramping present in OEM. If concerned, can remove as easy as installing when servicing the car. 👍
@@joelanza4755 Thanks. That’s what I was trying to say. The controller doesn’t change the tune or void the warranty so that’s the way to go until the warranty expires, then it’s tune time.
@@HorsePowerObsessed I just ordered it and used your HPO5 discount. It’s like getting a couple months free membership to your channel 😂💪. Can’t wait to drive again when it gets warmer and try this bad boy out. For now, just faster revs for the neighbors lol.
Thanks for showing how easy it is to install i can’t wait to get mine. I want for the security system for disabling the gas pedal i always worry when I go somewhere and park far away.
I've been telling people about this for years and they just laugh - give me the speech about how it doesn't add HP and how I wasted my money, blah blah blah. BTW, I put one on my Acura RDX and it works great on that to. Tell you what Justin - in a month or so (once you get used to it), set it back to stock and see how it feels. Its even more dramatic. You won't be able to switch it back on fast enough!!!
Hi Steve! Well said. It removes lag and also allows new ramping of acceleration to your liking! It is NOT the same as just hitting the gas pedal harder! GM has a ramping program that does not provide a 1-1 pedal to throttle body response!
@@shatz72 So I actually have a "Pedal Commander" which is the same thing as the Solar... just a different brand but they do the same thing. I like the Pedal Commander better as its easier to change modes, raise/lower the levels, etc... But yea, Pedal Commander makes one for the RDX. I have a 2020 and it works great! If you get one for your RDX and want to know my Pedal Commander settings, just let me know.
Great video as always justin, definitely on the top of my list for my second paragon order once i finally sign papers for my car while it sits in the showroom for the winter. i can't make the live show on monday but curious if send a superchat donation while not present am i still eligible for the draw?
You'll want to order these directly from Soler to use the HPO5 code. You CAN send a donation to be entered any way you'd like just make sure you let me know when you send it what you are donating towards.
Justin great video as always. I have the throttle body for my zl1 and seriously considering the throttle body and throttle controller for my C8 eray!! I bought the extended warranty for my Eray and since I track my car I am worried about the warranty not being honoured. Here lies my only hesitation!!!
You should be fine as long as the issue isn't directly related to the controller! This is VERY unlikely to ever cause any issues. I would do it and worst case scenario, remove it on dealer visits.
Car thief knows if the throttle is not working they will just unplug the controller i had a pedal commander on my raptor and it wrecked the transmission
Question how do you know how much the throttle body improves the car without Soler ? If you were to suggest a throttle body for the c8 z51 which mm would you suggest ?
You may be eligible for a Passive Alarm discount with proof of purchase. Check with your insurance company . NCM Insurance is recognizing our device- check your policy level and eligibility with them . 👍joe@soler
They should do something like that for gear changing to eliminate this annoying lag. You press gear change, and after approximately 350 milliseconds, the gear changes. Super annoying-it should be instant. (Btw I like your car a lot).
I did, but I didn't leave it in there because it's a little trickier with the manual transmission cars in my opinion. You really have to relearn to drive them if you change the sensitivity of the pedal.
Do you think the z06 will depreciate to 80K within 3-4 years? 60% after 3-4 years seems about right as compared to previous z06 gens. Im really looking to get into 1 if it will get down to that price
@HorsePowerObsessed i disagree. My cousin bought his 2017 2lz m7 z06 with 12k miles in the mid of 2021 for 80K. Sticker price back in 2017 was 108K. 4 years of depreciation worked out to be 74% for a low mileage example Edit: oops, just spoke with my cousin and the Msrp for his was 96K. So 83% depreciation on a very low mileage example. I think for a car with 40K miles in that 4 years would have been easily 65-70% depreciation.
Just purchase Soler throttle controller with your test drive. I bought one in 2019 for my Gran Sport after you said it would work which it did and I got rid of a dead spot on the 7-speed trans taking off. I hope this one works like the first one.. Back in 2019, they were $99.00 with no blue tooth but that was when Trump was president things were cheaper
It’s call inflation, supply and demand. Trump didn’t cause the lower price the seller raised the price for profit. It might have been cheaper in 1980 too, Dummy😂

Sport 8! I have no idea how Jeremy does ludicrous on there. Great install vid as usual Justin
Thanks, Brandon! I tried ludicrous mode for 3 seconds and it was…. Ludicrous lol
Agreed, Sport 7-8 is plenty. Ludicrous I find is too much and hard to control smooth take off acceleration
Agreed. Definitely nice to have the option though!!

Makes sense thanks!!!
You got it!
Yes they do work great. Some cars dont need them but others really have a horrible pedal feel. It does make it much more enjoyable to drive.
I totally agree with you on that!
The C8 Z06 doesn't have horrible pedal feel, it's extremely responsive and immediate.
Didnt win it on the live, so I'll get one after the X-mass shopping is done😅😅 Throttle body and controller.
Heck yeah!! We’ll have one more week of throttle controller giveaways too! If not, make sure to use HPO5 to save money!
@HorsePowerObsessed HPO5 was a given. I save as much as I can and still get quality products.
My man!

Nice video.
Thanks! Glad you dig it!
Put it on my C8 last year. It's like a completely different car in Sport 7 mode!
Thanks and well said! When I put in my 2023 C8 I called to thank Soler! Next thing I know joined Part time . 😉
My favorite mod so far. My video was a blast to do….. also can turn the output to ZERO and can’t move the car
Much appreciated! Joe @Soler
lol yeah the adjustability is insane!!
@@joelanza4755 you bet! I did video last fall and LOVE this mod! Now i want to do dyno shoot out of all of them
FYI, be aware of the rev limiter. You will approach it much quicker now.
Economy 2 for Valet mode
💯
Did you have that on your C8? If so what setting do you suggest. c8 z51
I didn't have it on my Stingray but I've heard others that do still recommend sport 6.
Hi! … live in Sport 6 mode . C8 Z51👍
Thanks HPO. Great vid! I would like to see your Christmas list that you give to your wife??!!!
Thanks man!! Lol you would NOT want to see that list 😂😂
I think the problem I'm having with my 'Z' is I'm not pushing it enough.
Is it the same controller for the base c8 and the Z06?
Yes it is! Use my code if you get one to save yourself some money!
Got mine!
🤘😎🤘
Question how do you know how much the throttle body improves the car without Soler ? If you were to suggest a throttle body for the c8 z51 which mm would you suggest ?
91mm from Soler for the C8 Stingray for sure. Their 91mm's for the Z06 are great for driveability!
Great theft deterrent too!
100% right!

Its done on purpose for fuel economy. So no the manufacture is NOT going to change it.
I appreciate it, man. I love this thing more and more each day!
I have it on my C8 Z51 and love it. I have an E Ray on order. Do you know if I can transfer it over? I asked Soler via email but never heard back.
Hi! Yes you can👍joe@soler
Yes you can. It's the same unit for both cars.
Is this the one where you could set it to where no one can steal your car?
Yes has a lock feature that disables electronically the gas pedal from the throttle body. Creates a dead gas pedal. Joe@soler
Yup. I demonstrate that feature at 13:57
Did you add this to your C7 ZR1?
C8 Z06
I did, but I didn't leave it in there because it's a little trickier with the manual transmission cars in my opinion. You really have to relearn to drive them if you change the sensitivity of the pedal.
@ mine is going in my C7 M7. Thanks for the heads up!
Does this work with a 24 Eray ?
Yes it does!! Use HPO5 to save money if you grab one!

Will the throttle body void warranty ?
No. Not unless there is a problem directly connected to this.
Does this void the warranty, esp if something notorious like the transmission blows?
The fact that it can be removed in less than five minutes and leaves no trace makes it pretty safe.
@@65sohc Interesting, thx.
Question is how does that work with launch control
Will this work properly on a dyno?
Yup!
If it was an EPA thing then they need to refund you the Gas Guzzler tax of $3k you had to pay! 😊
I agree!!
Gearing needs fixed, falls on its face at 5th
Good to see that you blocked out the speed this time but, couldn't the police still determine your speed by the RPM and the gear you"re in?
They'd have a hard time doing that with any real accuracy. A lot of things can determine speed even at a certain RPM. Wind, terrain, etc.
