![]() ![]() We found this video on YouTube and felt it was a fair and unbiasted reveiw of "Sprint Booster vs Pedal Commander vs BMS Pedal vs Pedal Box vs Injen Pedal Pro vs China vs Hike It." Courtesy of Master Chief. And if I wanted a more "responsive" feel to the throttle while on a tune, I certainly wouldn't buy a pedal commander, I'd ask my tuner to adjust the drive-by-wire to my liking.The Differences Between Sprint Boosters And Others So for ~$300 bucks you get a different feel from a modified response to the throttle, that's it. It also won't change the shift strategy, at all. it will just make it feel different because the throttle response is more sensitive, like going from drive to sport mode. But it will NOT make the truck faster, quicker, or more powerful. Does the pedal commander change the throttle response? Sure does, no doubt about that. The only thing that will change the passing and from a stop performance is more power, more torque. No matter what mode you set that device to, 0-60 and passing speed/acceleration will be the same as stock. There is absolutely no power gained from one of these devices. There is no way in hell a pedal commander will make passing any better in regards to engine performance compared to stepping into the stock accelerator. I'm going to disagree with the user that claimed a pedal commander gives increased passing performance. I just happen to like having the best of both!. I did make sure to get them on holiday deals and such (I would never pay full price, lol).ĭollar for dollar, if you want increased stop light and highway passing performance (without tuning) then it's a pretty good value. I purchased the iDrive for $167 which is a lot cheaper than purchasing a tuner and the tunes. I cannot speak for every tuner out there, but from my personal experience from 3 different tune providers (I didn't mention my previous ride before the Ranger was a Focus ST with a Ford Performance tune), the throttle controller is very noticeable. I should have worded that better.Īs far as Ranger tunes on the market re-programming the throttle, I can tell you that in any drive mode it still decreases the lag and gives a faster response, even when tuned. I have seen this multiple times on various Auto forums. What I mean by "don't work" is that the usual reply is the mashing the gas pedal would produce the same results. Not perfect analogy but you get the idea. at the same time, also lets you push only part way to get as much power as pushing you foot to the floor, depending on the setting you have it at (as many of you have already commented). A throttle controller removes that lag and. The train with more power may move faster but there is still play in the coupling. If you tune your engine it will not take the play away. ![]() there is some play in that Railroad coupling where, when the engine starts moving but the car behind it doesn't move right away because of the play in the coupling. The cars are held together by a Railroad coupling. You have a train engine pulling a train car behind it. the Mustang is almost undriveable from a stop in the top settings due to the power coming on too quickly. ![]() the other two are both turbo and you cant get rid of that turbo lag from a stand still. The most noticeable of all is on the mustang as the power is immediate. ![]() There is a noticeable difference in pedal response in all of them with the throttle controllers. 2019 Ford Ranger: Livernois Engineering 93 tune with Pedal Commander throttle controller 2016 Mustang GT: Livernois Engineering e85 tune with iDrive throttle controllerģ. 2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio: MaxPower Pro ECM tune with Madness GoPro throttle controllerĢ. I have 3 cars that are tuned and all 3 have a throttle controller ALONG WITH A TUNE.ġ. I am telling you right now, they work, even with a tune. I find it funny that no matter how many people with a throttle controller comment on how great it is, you get people, who don't even own one, who insist they don't work, that you can tune the lag out, that you should just stomp on the gas harder, etc. ![]()
