Is the trottle body fooler the item I see for sale that attaches to the sending unit on the peddle that increases response?

There are many throttle amps out there. Most of them use marketing terms that are technically correct but try very hard to get you to believe you're unlocking power.

They just make the throttle pedal more sensitive.

The really trick ones will actually overshoot and back off the input to compensate for specific throttle bodies, but that's extraordinarily rare. Most just apply an amplification curve onto the input signal.

The tuners are telling me you can do it through the ECM. That should change the sensitivity although if you go too far, you might end up spinning the wheels which is pretty impressive but doesn't do much for getting power to the ground, which is the main thing.

I tuned the AFM out using a Diablo I3 tuner.

Very easy to do, push a few buttons and all done, no more AFM, car stays in V8 mode.

I'm sure it will work on your 14. You could call Diablo if you want to confirm.

Yep, if you're cracking into the ECU you might as well just map the throttle there to a satisfactory level.

The i3 and T2 tuners we offer, in addition to AFM disable, allow users to adjust throttle sensitivity (C7), through the tune, to their liking

I run a range device on my c7 z (auto) and yukon in CA - it's perfect.
