Quicker throttle response

[RoninRed]

Complete newb here guys. I want faster throttle response when I hit the accelerator. As it stands i have a half second if not full second delay when I press the accelerator to when my car actually begins to accelerate. This is very jarring and want it fixed.

How do I fix this?

I have a peddlemax. I got the nob so I can turn it on and off when needed. I normally have it fully open all the time, you will see your mpg go down, but fuck it.

It looks costly, but it makes the car that much better!

Look up Pedal Commander. See my post further down. Has more options, better price and can be programmed to use on any newer US vehicle. I called the manufacture direct and got a great deal.:cheers:

I run a sprint booster on mine.

Put car into race mode. Press accelerator more!

Pedalmax / sprint booster is not fixing anything all they are just a device that amplify the throttle signal. In short when you press the pedal 10% with a pedalmax or sprint booster you will actually be getting 20% for instance or however you have set it up.

So they fool people into believing they improve throttle response, all they are actually doing are changing your throttle curve, so now when you depress the accelerator pedal 50% your at 100% throttle leaving the remaining 50% travel meaningless.

I like a linear pedal, if you want more power and more response, push the pedal down more, I only want 100% throttle when my foot is to the floor!

Now back to throttle response, if you genuinely want to improve throttle response do following:

- Panel Filter
- Airaid modular intake tube
- Velossa big mouth and open up front grill
- Remove sound tube.
- Or buy a full CAI like Airaid, PMAS, Injen etc.
- Get a tune for the car, Lund, JDM etc.
- Sport or race mode.


Doing the above will give you a real throttle response improvement.

This. Tune can control not only pedal vs actual throttle position independently in all 3 drive modes (sport/track is the same map) but also driver demand torque independently in all 6 gears which will modify pedal versus actual throttle as well.

Pedalmax. Worth every penny and you don't take a chance of voiding your warranty.

The JMS pedalmax will definitely do the trick. It's a great product that's very simple to install. The alternative would be a Lund Racing custom tune.

We carry both so please feel free to give us a call and we'll be glad to assist you.

I just trained my foot to move a little more. Saved the cost of a PedalMax.

Unlike cable throttle bodies that are completely controlled by your foot what you do with your foot on these cars doesn't mean anything. The throttle body on these cars use ETC which means it's electronically controlled by not only a motor but certain tables from the module under the throttle pedal and what the PCM tells it to do. So what you do with your foot on these cars doesn't actually mean the throttle body will react that way.




The JMS unit is basically a piggyback for the pedal module giving it a more aggressive table which creates a quicker throttle response and ramp rate. Somewhat like what can be done with a tune but without having to flash the car in this case.


Hope that explains it a little better.

It is just an amplifier of the throttle signal, the pedal max / sprint booster does not change the throttle table or the ECU tune in any way.

All it is doing is changing requested throttle percentage for amount of pedal travel due to it amplifying the signal.

In short pushing the pedal more has the same effect, what the car delivers is still completely down to the ECU as the pedal max is not bypassing the ECU in anyway, if it did then it would actually be very bad for the running of the car.

Yeah Jared! I know you do this for a living but it seems the guys who have never used the JMS know what they are talking about!!? They have done their research and have determined that these piggyback devices are a waste of money. I on the other hand, took a chance despite the opinions of the internet gurus and bought a PEDAL COMMANDER. Love it!! More buttons and programming options than the Pedalmax and Sprint booster. Look it up. They are looking for vendors in the US muscle car market.:cheers:

control box is smaller than key fob
see my picture in other thread started
:cheers:
just trying to show my fellow mustang enthusiast other options. Was going to buy a Pedalmax when I googled it wrong and found the Pedal Commander. Spoke direct to the owner and explained what I was doing and asked for a 10% discount and free shipping. Figured it was worth a try. He did it.:cheers:

There is a dead spot and a large amount of travel. You have the the PP so your gears may differ from others (thus different acceleration off the line) so you might want to take that into account.
