It could probably be done with an Adruino
If you are not heal toe-ing -- then you will not be on the gas.
You'll have one foot on clutch and one on brake.

Therefore your TP would be at 0%.

Let's say for argument sake that your 0% is 10K ohms and your 100% is 0 ohms.
Then you could throttle blip to 50% with a parallel 10K ohm resistor.

1/Rto_blip = 1 /R(0%) + 1/R(blip circuit)

like others have said -- some sort of timing circuit would be used to
enable the duration of the shunting resistor. An old 555 circuit and a pot
enabling a relay would do just fine.
