throttle blip

[seningen]

With egas the throttle pedal is just a pentiometer

If more gas lowers the resistance
Putting a relay with a set resistance in parallel would allow for auto blipping

Now all you have to do is create that relay control.

Yes, but the resistance of the potentiometer will vary depending on how much gas you are giving it at the moment, so the circuit would need to lower the resistance bu a specific amount. The problem, is that the value you need would vary depending on the potentiometer value

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.
