No bro you car would not run without a TPS which in our cars is part of the throttle assembly.

no no im srry i wasnt clear with that i dont mean taken out like totally disassemble it im saying when i have my computer tuned he says he can change the tps as in make it open up all the way when i put my foot to the floor because the stock computer tells the tps to rapidly open and close the throttle holding our engines back i ment reprogram not disassenble it im srry

the computer doesnt flutter the throttle body to hold back power. what it does do is regulate how quick it opens as part of the torque managment stratagy. it also opens the bypass valve part way in 1st gear to limit boost.

Torque management is key in first gear, go as open as you can on it before you start to wheel hop / loose traction.

Traction mods will make you be able to go faster, some people invest in these mods first.

I am going about this route, so far i went with Stage 2 Kit and I have ZZP Tranny mounts and Motor mount. Wheel hop has been eliminated now i just need to get traction, so wider tires are next, 235/45R18 (maybe 245/40r18) if that doesnt then some traction bars and suspension drop. Once i can get all my power to the ground without slipping then I will build up even more, until then. What the point in having power if you cannot use it.

I would rather do my own torque management myself.
