Default Electronic Throttle amplifier

I have seen a few electronic throttle amplifiers on the web for over $300. Seems pretty high for about $8 worth of parts. Does anyone have or seen a schematic of how to make one? The idea is modify the input to the drive by wire throttle so it is at least linear with the actual physical movment of the pedal. The stock arrangement actually has a built in lag at the beginning of pedal movment.

I wish we could switch back to cable linkage. Has anyone done this?

You cant swap to cable till you get rid of DOD. That one of the biggest reason we got DBW throttle's.
