Is the Injen X-Pro throttle controller any good?

I have a fbo si that I just got tuned making 210 whp and I just saw this injen throttle controller. I think it would be nice having a more responsive throttle but I’m worried changing me throttle response might mess with my tune. Has anyone used it and does it work well?

It’s not going to mess with the tune but almost undoubtedly going to be a waste of money.
IMO the only vehicles these devices actually do anything for is like automatic cars with mild bolt ons (years ago my buddy had a GS430 w intake and exhaust paired w a pedal commander and it had a very slight effect on response/acceleration) it’s basically a way to make non sporty cars feel more sporty - again this is my opinion, you do what you want but I personally don’t think it will do anything…

This is what a pedal commander does.

gas pedals are now throttle by wire. Let’s say you put down 30* of throttle pedal and that tells the pcm to open the throttle body 50%. With the pedal commander, you do 30* with throttle now it tells the pcm to open it 100%. So it makes it feel like it’s more responsive when you can physically floor it instead.
