Lol clueless

Take 2 identical cars, put the pedalmax one one and race them. Slam the gas pedal on both at EXACTLY the same time, same force. The pedalmax car will take off sooner even though both were floored at the exact same time. The pedalmax responds to throttle input sooner. Those saying all it does is give a 20% response to 10% input are speaking out of ignorance. The amplified signal actually quickens how soon the car responds. No matter how quick footed you think you are, you cannot replicate these things by pressing harder and faster. If you cannot comprehend this you probably on the wrong forum.
But it does give higher throttle percentage at a given pedal. Adjusting the driver desired torque vs pedal and pedal vs actual throttle in the tune does the same. I've done it to mine before and it gets too touchy if you are not careful. It's like a lightswitch.

Wondering if the new Ford Race tunes give the same throttle response as the pedalmax etc. Had one on my JK ( sprint booster) and just made driving so much more enjoyable.

And how often do you actually slam your gas pedal to the floor as fast as you can when you drive your car? Yes I agree that when your goal is to reach the floor with your pedal at the fastest possible velocity the predalmax will win every time. But any other time with 99 percent of driving youre not stomping your foot down. If your car has a 1to1 input vs output ratio on your pedal, that is the closest you will ever get to throttle by cable. This thing does not quicken how soon your car responds, it emulates a faster foot at the sacrifice of pedal range.

You are just arguing because you don't want to admit you are wrong.

Nah Im just trying to get people like you to understand that the pedal itself doesnt cause any "throttle lag". If you have 1to1 ratio on your pedal and you press 30 percent and the ecu sees 30 percent instantly then where is the pedal lag?
I just want people to see what this is because it seems like many people have a false assumption that their cars throttle lag is caused by the pedal. This thing sacrifices your 1to1 ratio for a deadspot on your pedal. The only benefit here is a shorter pedal travel. The signal still reaches the ecu instantly.
In my opinion this product is a rip off. Snake oil. Its super simple and should only cost 20 bucks. The sprintbooster videos are deceiving and their display in the videos are straight up lies. They are false advertising their product. Their graph shows no matter how fast you press the pedal without it you always have the same curve. Why dont they use a real graph connected to a laptop that shows a live curve. Because this way you can mimic what the sprint booster curve is doing without the sprintbooster. The old guy on the left says its the computer that controls how fast that throttle plate opens and closes and then says as fast and hard as you push it, doesnt matter the computer still does what it wants to do. So hes saying right there that the lag comes from the computer but then proceeds to show a product for the pedal. In my opinion this product is a huge waste of money.

The ecu does not recognize the throttle input instantly in a drive by wire system. Instantly is drive by cable.

SergeyMelnik your opinion has been noted. Now please, stop arguing something you have not tried or own. IT reminds me of people and guns. Those that do not own or grew up around them think they should be banned and kill people. I was like you and doubted this product also. But with only a few thousand miles on my car and not wanting to take the chance with the non mod friendly dealers around here, I took a chance. This device has made my car around town so much more fun. 3.15 gears and auto suck on this car at lower cruising speeds. Hunting back and forth between gears all the time sucks. I drive in S all the time but the downshifts get old with the Roush and H pipe. Also if not using the paddle shifters I have the same hunting of gears. I really wanted 3.55 gears but got what I did and will eventually do a FI of some kind. Anyways this simple overpriced device makes this car a beast to drive at lower speeds up to the off ramp to 95. Once on the highway at a steady speed no difference. But getting there HOLY CRAP! I haven't even turned this thing up. I have different drive modes on mine and am on the lowest mode before ECO. Still trying to get used to it. I have a Pedal Commander if it matters.

And your opinion has been noted as well. Ive explained how this product works and you give me your experience with it. Did I say anything wrong? Prove to me the pedal information doesnt reach the ecu instantly. If you want i can make you a pot that turns up your pedal 500 percent. Just touch the pedal and it will get you to 100 percent throttle. All that time youve been wasting getting your foot all the way to the floor will be 98 percent eliminated. All throttle lag will be eliminated. Ill charge only 500 dollars and it can attach to your current pedalmaxbooster.

And this is where the false assumption lies. Once you understand that pedal itself causes zero lag you can understand how the pedalmax works.
So youre telling me that if you install this pedalmax between the pedal and ecu, it will take the pedal signal and get it to the ecu faster? Can you please explain how this works?

Since you know soo much, explain to me how Sport mode and Track mode work vs how the Pedalmax works and what the difference is. On the manual trans that is.

Daltron and Kong76, we are all wasting our time with these peeps that just want to bash. They will never answer and say they don't own one of these devices or that they've never even tried it. Their loss. This is ridiculous! I've been on many other forums for snowmobiles, motorcycles, and cars, and this site is by far the most hostile. Lol. I guess their mamas never taught them manners.
The problem is that a lot of people have a superiority complex simply because they bought a car, lol!! Since I've been on here...and the Facebook page, I have come across many people who will trash talk you, insult you, criticize you, and downright call you names, yet they'll get offended when you fire back at them. The good thing is that later when they're proven wrong they quiet down. You should have seen all the nonsense I had to put up with a few months ago. But this happens whenever a new model comes out. Same thing happened in the Camaro forums 4-6 years ago. Everyone there thought they were just the greatest thing to ever happen. Years later the atmosphere is much different. Give it time. A lot of these people won't be around for much longer. All those guys who started trouble years ago have all disappeared. LOL, good riddance.

So nobody is able to explain how pedal max makes throttle response quicker (physics isn't on your side guys which SergeyMelnik tried to point out), neither anybody provided any kind of measurements or any proof this is the case. And of course if I had spent few hundreds on it, I would be singing praises and calling others idiots just to not look like an idiot myself.
