- I’ve been asked 100’s of times to put a Sprint Booster and Pedal Commander side by side to show the customers the difference . Luckily for me a disgruntled customer wanted to upgrade to a Sprint Booster so I made him a deal😊.
After seeing this thing in person I was amazed anybody would buy this over a Sprint Booster. Since I have had some years under my belt with Sprint Booster I figured I would throw something together to show everybody what I know.
Facts are facts. My opinion is based on what I know to be true. Don’t fall for the gimmicky Facebook ads or CZcams videos that are clearly produced , the choice is yours 👍🏼
Throttle Controllers. You can buy the best or you can settle for a second rate product. Sprint Booster received the Sema award for BEST new product. Pedal Commander received an award for their packaging, not what is inside. Think about that .
Been over a year since I bought this product and I must say once again, best throttle booster product ever! My hemi Ram truck feels soooo much more responsive. I have it on race #9 all the time. The beautiful thing about the Sprint Booster is the fact that I can set it at that level and unplug the remote and it stays at that level until I decide to change it! I love this fact. You won't get that kind of control with those other knock off brands. Anybody on the fence about this product I say get it. Awesome product.😎👍
How do you know you don't have the same control as other brands if you haven't tried them? 🤔 It sounds like a fake comment.
The pedal box is way better. I had it over a year and it’s on my jeep SRT eight what a difference love it.
@@bc_usa He never said he hasn’t tried any of the other ones
Thanks, have just ordered Pedal Commander.
I've had this product for over 2 months now. I'm still in love with this product! I stand by what I said 2 months ago, still the best money i've spent on my Ram Truck. Awesome product.
Ray I’ve been saying this for years. This is exactly why I stand by this product. It is also cool having dealt with this company for so long , always gave me great customer service and support . I still remember trying my Version 1 ....10 years ago. It blew me away with its size and what it did to my BMW . 10 years later it’s just as small and even more versatile. I can’t wait to see what they come up with next !
I bought what must have been the Version 1 of Sprint Booster back in 2008 for my lethargic 2008 Jeep Wrangler Limited. Right from the dealership, that unit was a dog! Slow as all get up, and really not much fun to drive. I was on the Jeep Forum and followed a thread for this SB thing...so I bought it, and installed it in about 15 minutes...I remember the original unit was difficult to get to....anyways.....WOW...what a difference it made. There was no choices on the one I had, it was a module that just plugged in. I ended up keeping that SB on for several years. Over the years, I forgot about it and when I traded the Jeep in, the guy came back and wanted to know if I had tuned the engine because it was the fastest Limited he had ever driven. Then I remembered SB was still in there. No complaints, and highly recommended. Fast forward to today. I think I am going to get the latest SB for my 2018 Ford F150 3.0L PowerStroke Diesel. It could do with a bit of a waking up.....looking forward to getting in installed on that!
Mark Jordan Did you installed it?
@RagingTiger These comments seem suspicious 🤔. No one ever replies or goes into details. Just sounds like a commercial?
I LOVE my Sprint Booster in my 370z! It was the first aftermarket part I bought and it made a huge difference in my driving experience. I haven't turned it off in the 2 years I've owned it!
Christopher James what settings U use on daily driving track levels an Sport level mode ?
@@spacychicken9969ragingbullolaf I always have it in sport! I feel 5-7 is a comfortable setting that isnt too jumpy and allows you to feel the most difference
@@CHRISTOPHERJAMES nice mannn i cant wait to get mines
Same here
I left mine in race 9 and got used to feathering the throttling when needed
Now it feels second nature in that mode
Wow, this is great news. You've been out longer, but I haven't heard of your product until now. I heard about PC about a year ago, and almost bought one. Glad I never got around to it.
Just fitted this to my VW Touareg V10 Twin Turbo 5 litre and very very impressed !! Made a big difference No Throttle lag and very easy to fit . I can definitely recommend Sprint Booster !
Would you ever be willing to plug a pedal commander into the throttle body display to show how it works in comparison. I can tell your bias is toward sprint booster however I’m a customer on the fence and would like to see how they stack up to one another on the same exact demo product. I personally like the sprint booster more since it’s 1:1 but I want to see if the pedal commander is also 1:1 or does it vary. Also can you show the 1:1 of the sprint booster is accurate by pushing the display slower in race mode to see if it’s 100% 1:1 thank you.
pedal commander all the way
I have owned pedal commander on 3 different vehicles, it is awesome. it may be bigger than sprint booster but looks more professional in my opinion. The eco mode to all that are curious serves very well on powerful vehicles in poor weather conditions as it makes your pedal about 50% less sensitive than stock. (more traction, less spin) it is also great for off road use. it also has a ton of settings on it to fine tune what works for you. I prefer city +2 for daily driving. I am presently using it on a 2019 golf r. I have used it on a mustang gt in the past and a Subaru outback 3.6r. zero complaints. Made the mustang feel like a true muscle car. That to say that I am not putting down sprint booster in anyway. Could be a fantastic product. Just stating facts as I know them to be true. Pedal commander all the way for me.
@@craigfutter9132 Totally agree, Sprint booster looks like its made 20 years ago. And yes the Eco mode is less than stock but he makes it sound like its the same. This is a total sales job on Sprint Booster and just talks crap otherwise.
The pedal commander installed on my 2018 Dodge charger kept causing issues with my vehicles computer after sending back to the factory for the issue, I completely removed it because it keeps doing the same thing.
Buying just because of your passion, love how you stand by your product.
Was literally hitting the buy it now button on the pedal commander but decided to check out the sprint booster reviews first and I had no idea that you guys are the original developer of this product. Ordering yours now for the simple fact that I want to support the company that developed this, not copied it.
Ok!arrived in one day! Blew me away in minutes! Installed in 15, rocked the pedal!!!!wow!!!!
Len Ward love the feedback !!
Great product, i just installed it on my mercedes c180 and what a diference. Simple to install. My mercedes 1.6 feels Like a bigger displacement engine.
I have one on my BMW Z4, 3.0 six speed. It really woke the engine up. The throttle response is immediate and strong.
is it manual or auto? I am looking for info on the automatic
@@p0werl0ve "six speed" - I'll leave you to figure the rest out
@@cameronbrule7912 you do know that they make six speed manual and automatic transmissions
Pedal Commander has bluetooth now, i’m in.
I have the PC device with BT cause it was cool to have, but to be honest I only used it once! By the time you open the app and do any adjustments, you can simply reach out to the actual device and press any buttons while keeping your eyes on the road. Plus, once you find your happy setting you'll hardly do any changes.
I recently installed my SB v3 in my 2017 Tacoma and I love it! It’s a great addition!
Best money i've spent on my car! SB is an amazing product.
robterza L R D I agree !!
Funny thing is people defend purchasing an inferior product because they feel embarrassed that they fell for the lies.. I’ve had many people bash me because I tell the truth. And we alllll know people cannot handle the truth ! Lol
@@masterchief370 Folks that have already purchased, w/their hard-earned money on a knock-off feel they must defend the choice they have made.
@@masterchief370 do sprint boosters work with CVT transmissions?
Why does this Guy only have 659 subs. This is biased but very honest take on throttles. I drove a 99 Ranger for 20 years. It has this thing called a Throttle Cable. Weird I know. So when I wanted full throttle I pressed it to WOT. When I need 50% guess what. Well that is what I am looking for. I don't need a computer to guess what I want. I just needed it to give me what I asked for. Thanks for the Vid.
I got the sprint booster a few days ago and yes its all that, just needed a few days to play around with the settings. After two days I threw away all the paperwork, box, etc.. anything that would have been related to a return of this item, and mounted it inside my car 👍🏻
installed SBv3 on BMW E91 330xi 2006. big difference. recommended.
I was just about to buy a pedal commander for my truck but you just changed my mind!!!!!! I like the sprint booster better and cheaper!!!!!
Well I have the panel commander on my ram 1500 and will smoke the tires off the road. The Chevy 6.2 liter can't stay up 2 my ram I will smoke it any time.

Thanks for taking the time to make this video! Although it wasn't s side by side comparison, it motivated me to buy the V3 for my 2009 BMW 650i. I reviewed the prices of all the other options and they were similarly priced to the Sprint Booster......with the exception on the Ebay Chinese knock off's, My car has a beautiful interior and I personally didn't want a controller anywhere visible that took away from the class of my interior. The install was amazingly simple and it took only a few minutes to install the remote through my center console into my ashtray. The remote is TINY and has enough slack in the cable for me to effortlessly adjust the settings. My car has 360 HP stock and I have always liked to drive it in sport mode to feel the performance. After taking a test drive with the Sport mode on the Sprint tuner set at 5, all I can say is WOW! Once done with the test, I additionally turned on the sport mode of my 650i......I don't think I will ever drive without both on! NO regrets! It was only $266 plus tax....I've always said: "Good tattoo's aren't cheap and cheap tattoo's aren't good". It's worth the investment.
I was going to invest in a Pedal Commander. After watching this video and understanding the difference. I'd rather go with a company that been around longer plus winning at SEMA. Sprint Booster it is... Thank you!!!👍
I agree! I had no idea sprint booster paved the way. Have you tried yours out yet?
@@codymccauley9942 I'm waiting patiently...
best money i've spent on my truck! this is an amazing product.
Ray I agree 100%. This is a great product for someone looking for the best options for their vehicles 😊
I got a 2018 charger rt I been looking around for the best booster ima get the sprint booster definitely. So am I able to change to manual mode and automatic while my sprint booster is on to the maximum? I just dont wanna worry about technical issues changing my transmission to auto and manual while I'm driving.
ANTWAINify you can change programs very easily . No issues at all :)
@@masterchief370 will manual mode cause issues if used on automatic vehicle?
Cedric Miller ,Sprint Booster in Manual Mode on an Auto car can react differently depending on the vehicle manufacture. Manual program will have a more aggressive tip in value (among other things) compared to the automatics program. You can use manual program in an automatic car BUT you should pay more attention to a possible change in shifting . You also want to make sure the trans doesn’t do a “double/downshift “.Example : If I pass someone and accelerate more aggressively , the vehicle normal shifts down one gear. If you were to simulate this and the transmission downshifts twice I would recommend backing off the program or putting back into Auto Mode. Knowing this , I have found most automatic cars and trucks can be ok in Manual Mode. I almost always use manual mode is diesel trucks regardless of transmission type. This is specifically because the don’t have a throttle body. Sprint Booster almost acts like a programmer in deisel vehicles . That’s another conversation in itself .. lol Try it. Just pay attention 👍🏼😁
Thanks Guys,
So far that’s the best/most accurate explanation ever (on pedal Tuning).
And Confirms, that SPRINT BOOSTER is the Best!
In our workshop we have installed dozen Sprint Booster over the past Years,
Each customer was very satisfied with the result.
However, I can be a bit confusing with the additional options, like;
Pedal lock and Valet Packing mode.
Its just an extra feature, you don’t need that often.
Maybe they are going to change it on their V4…
...My recommendation learn/find out what adjustments are best for Your drive…and enjoy.
You will have no problems with your dealership at all.
It’s just another Car gadget, but with amazing results!!
Thanks Guys.

Linear throttle response is so much better than having 50% pedal movement tied to 90% of gas response.
Glad I waited, saw so much people buying pedal commander, I like to buy products Made in America. Awesome review on your product, I’m buying your Sprint Booster. Thankyou.
glad I found this video for sure. I'm mostly concerned with some of the problems I've heard pedal commanders complaining about. error codes, weird shifting. Will Sprint Booster have considerably less of these type of stories?
i have sprint booster on my 2009 srt8 challenger. bd diesel throttle boosters on my ram and grand cherokee. i tell people if you only do one thing go with a throttle booster to take out the lag in the throttle with the electronic throttles. i cannot drive any of my hemis on factory tuning-there is so much of a big difference. many programmers have a throttle booster but only up to 20%. a throttle doesnt increase power-it just allows you to enjoy throttle like we used to have.
I've never owned a device of this type. I'm going to try Sprint Booster. You have a very good product. In your video I would not knock Peddle Commander as much as you do. Push your strengths. You have many.
Did you every purchase the product?
If the SB were to fail at some point is there any chance it could send a signal that causes the vehicle to accelerate even though your foot may be off the pedal. What happens when they fail. That’s the main concern that’s been keeping me from buying one if these. Thx.
Michael Chavez NO, this is one reason why Sprint Booster has done so well. It cannot create a signal, it can only modify the input . It is a pass through design.
Master Chief. OK Thanks. That helps in making the decision.
I too was skeptical at first, because $300 is a lot to me. But after watching numerous videos and reading reviews on SB I finally decided to order one. I drive a 2004 Mercedes cl55 amg with a few mods. Does it work? Yes it does. It makes the car feel more responsive, but recently I took it out . Reason why was because I noticed that if I floor it and my supercharger comes on the car would jerk at around 4K rpm. Don’t remember the car doing this before so I’m guessing it might be the SB but I’m not sure. It still does it now but not so much. Might install SB again and do some test runs.
Thanks for the video never realized they’d gotten the award or that all the others were knock offs well done will be checking to see what else you may have covered cheers
Cool vid to show the action of what the product actually does to a throttle body. Would like to see other brands in action as well tho.
Agreed. Kinda sketchy that he didn't hook up the Pedal Commander and show it's action too. If you gonna compare them... THEN COMPARE THEM!!! Or maybe he did before and decided against showing it.
He compared their sizes and the cable sizes, why not functional and functionality?
@@jayfruge3536 - PC's 4 modes and 32 levels vs SB's 2 modes and 18 levels... He crapped all over Pedal Commander because they're probably his biggest competition and do exactly what SB does, plus some. Honestly, the SB module looks like cheap Chinese plastic but I've never seen it in person so I can't confirm. Pedal Commander looks nice and I also prefer the thicker wire. Tiny wires are easy to break.
What's the green setting for if red gives full control. And what's point of numbers if you get full control at red 6 it seems
Spencer ,green and red have different tip in values and Acceleration profiles. Red is more aggressive than green
The numbers are like the numbers for your radio. 5 and 6 might seem close but they are different . Just like red 9 is noticeably different than red 5.
I honestly like the V2 units. Red and green and that’s it. Unfortunately it seems society thinks having more options is better. I saw a Chinese knockoff claiming 100 settings. I almost spit my drink out. It’s unneeded and overkill. There comes a point where the settings are not noticeable.
I have the previous version of s.b. only green and red button. I want to buy the V3. Do we have a comparizon between the red to the old model and the red-9 to the V3? Better,faster response,or the same?
This is a video I s been lookin for this whole time. Funny it pops up once I go into CZcams. Man I just put ages one of these few weeks ago & I’ve had it in for a few weeks now. Awesome I must say it works great. I have the old version tho. I was wondering is the old versions only for the older cars or can I purchase the “V3”?. Mine only gets up to 60% from what I have & read in the instructions. I have it on race mode level 9. I love it tbh.
Been using a jet xcelerator....worked fine...then all of a sudden been pressing gas and theres more of a delay then stock
Wow...you actually answered a lot of these guys questions..most people that have channels don't answer half as much.. good job!!
Have on my 2016 Subaru BRZ and it works wonders 🔥
Although titled "Sprint Booster...vs BMS Pedal Tuner...," this CZcams video did not actually mention any similarities and differences between these two products. Can you elaborate more on comparing with the BMS Pedal Tuner by Burger Motorsports (the creators of the famous JB4 tuners)?
People like me in my Yelp community and online car forums who are interested in "pedal by wire" tuning are trying to find a reliable, long lasting, and most effective product. Please help us to determine if Spring Booster is the right product for further enhancing our tuned performance cars.
Hey Master Chief, can you answer Peter's question to you?
Master Chief just wants to talk about sprint booster
HI Peter, I've been out of town. Sorry for the delay. I did find this out. BMS product is actual a Pedal Box. Pedal Box was a customer of Sprint Booster and then decided to try and knock it off. Poorly at that. The utilize a controller that about the size of your palm and that is permanently attached to a cord that hooks into the pedal assembly. Everything about this product is ugly and not something you would want mounted on your dash. It has a bracket kit that holds the controller that does not easily mount anywhere without drilling holes to support the product. It has 20 settings using a LED graph for level indicator? None of the programming is transmission specific. Their desperate attempts to sound " Original" is lame at best. QUOTE: " PedalBox+: The original from DTE Systems" The keyword here is FROM DTE systems. Yes , they are the original company to infringe on Sprint Booster's international Patents. Congrats, you're getting a bad knockoff that has less then half the functionality of a Sprint Booster. Their product might not be bad per what they have to offer, I just don't promote companies that steal . I know, I know, I get a lot of harassment for sticking up for Sprint Booster. But I know their history because they've helped me with projects from over 10 years ago.
If your friend invented a flying car that was using a specific device to accomplish this feat . wouldn't you stand up for them if other companies were using their technology, but in an inferior way? Buy a knockoff BMW from China ( allll over the place) and tell me how it's the same quality. You can't. You can try and reason how it's good enough, but it will never be the same quality .
Just my 2cents. I'm sure people will say I'm wrong. All I have to say is the facts speak for themselves.
@@kiransuyal7527 We can talk about you if you want. How are you doing?
@@kiransuyal7527 yup, and talk a bunch of crap about the others
I always thought of eco mode for driving on ice/snow personally, i dont have 1 of these devices but im doing research to decide what to get
Joe schmoe I’ve always thought the factory throttle lag was already dangerous. I would never want it to be slower. That’s why I have traction control 😜
@@masterchief370 i guess thats a fair thought, im new to the powerful rear wheel drive segment, looking at possibly getting a 2015 camaro ss in the next couple weeks and we do get snow/ice and i have lengthy highway drives to work so im nervous about those conditions, never thought of it as being more lag and then suddenly it opens up to overpower the car
@@joeschmoe5009 you'll be well off on snow/ice with an Eco Mode. An Eco Mode just brings the power on more gradually than factory settings, whereas Power Mode brings it on quicker.
On Eco Mode you won't have lag and then all of a sudden a burst of power, that's Salesman BS....
Both will still give you full throttle, just at different rates.
If this was an honest comparison, he would've plugged the other controller in as well to show us the difference. But this video is all about punting his product, and dissing the competition.
Been looking for a nice real time comparison. THANK YOU!
BMS pedal tuner check it out
@@stayvigilant7856 why you recommend this compared to the other?? Only thing I like is the price. Lol
@@KingOfNy9 yes it's a bit cheaper and BMS is a good brand! I had the BMS power box on my old328i and was night and day to me the bms is better bang for your buck
@@stayvigilant7856 yeah my baby is def. struggling. I hope long term this can get the job done and not mess my car up.
Great Video! That Demo setup helps explain how this system works! Wish I saw this video a week ago. Pedal Commander currently has $75 off foot their Black Friday Sale
Does it turn back on to your last setting everytime? I really want to find a setting I like and mount it hidden under the dash. But won't be able to do that if I have to turn it on every time I start my truck. Also, does it help with turbo lag I'm a Cummins?
Dustin Rachell Yes, this will help with turbo lag and yes it has a built in EPROM for memory. FYI, there is no need to hide anything with Sprint Booster. It’s small enough to blend in with your dash or you can remove the controller completely once you find a setting you like.
This helps makes Sprint Booster the most versatile and advanced throttle controller in the market.
I love it on my 6.7. Almost feels like a programmer 😂😂
@@masterchief370 Is it available for a 2020 Ram 1500?
I almost bought the Pedal Commander because i saw it on Tewards channel. Glad I saw this before I made a purchase. Excited to install my sprint booster when it comes in (free shipping!)
Is there a version made for semi trucks, particularly a 2005 Kenworth W900 with a C-15 CAT engine?
Anthony Kelley most likely !! I would contact a dealer with your information .
Hey I'm interested in this also🤔
I wonder if there are any long term effects on the throttle body since it’s being actuated in a more aggressive manner 🤔. Anyone care to chime in?
Real Gs Dont Die I’ve not seen any issue in the past ten years! It’s also TUV approved in Europe for safety 👍🏼
Bought 2 PC, one for my Son and the other for me. Loved it but they did not mention that you cannot play with the settings while in motion. Truck went into limp mode and dealer had to replace ecm and throttle position sensor (warranty)
Coming from Canada it was very expensive so never again.
I'll try your product soon though for my new truck 👍
It's that way for all throttle controllers. Did you ever get the Sprint Booster?
Niice.i had pedal commander before and pulled multiple codes after 1 month use ...i returned it ..
Same with mine. I'll try the sprint booster..
And this video is why I bought a Sprint Booster v3 not pedal commander.
I don’t need Bluetooth capability. SB looks better, more like factory. Also has pedal lock and valet mode. Can’t beat it.
Oh yeah, also $10 cheaper than PC. I don’t even use my factory sport mode. It’s faster with just SB in drive than it was before SB in sport mode. 2018 Honda Accord 2.0T 10 speed.
I've had my Sprint Booster on my '13 Hyundai Genesis 5.0 R Spec for over a year. Never leave my driveway without it being engaged, does exactly what it says it does.
Pedal commander is $100 more than your brand lol. Us Canadians get the shaft so much.
Roar pedal $220 free shipping and it's about the same size as yours and is made in the US. You have to keep your price competitive.
I had a pedal commander on my last car and eco mode is dangerous. I contacted pedal commander because I wanted one for my new car and their customer service sucks. They had smart remarks when I asked about a discount saying they wouldn’t.
Tommy Miller I know from testing and feedback it’s dangerous and defeats the purpose of fixing DBW issues. It’s literally selling snake oil.
Contact a Sprint Booster dealer. Tell them your story. You’ll be surprised how friendly and accommodating they are. I bet you can get a “buyers remorse” discount . Maybe tell them I sent you ... lol 🤷🏼♂️
Awesome thanks
This is the video! I wanted to see a pedal and throttle body side by side. Plus the fact that you outed the losers from out of country makes me on their scrap product is awesome.
Installed my Sprint Booster May 2019 in my 2018 Dodge Challenger V6., WOW ! My first comment was " who needs a Hemi ". Since then I have taken 2 road trip with the setting on green 5 which is where I leave it. Also took my Challenger V6 to a dealer for a soft ware update leaving the control where I keep it. The dealer never noticed the SB. due to it's very small size the SB controller is very easy to hide, which is a big plus. Around town you will never notice it until you hit the gas. On the highway it really helps when you need passing power now.
I just put a sprint booster on my 2019 mustang gt pp2 and it's awesome!! Race 9 setting is crazy responsive !!! Love it!!
Hi, I just bought one for my 2016 GT350, It has not yet arrived and I am very curious to know what to expect. The throttle response is not what I expected from this car although once it picks up it is super fast. How does your Mustang feel before and after?
@@cooperbrown1 The stock setting was painfully slow and like you said it picks up in a second or two. With the sprint booster on race 9 or max setting my car wouldn't stop spinning it's 305s with advance track off !! Fun fun fun

I'd say TRS-80 (Trash 80) If I Rember correctly the commadore 64 had a color card. Used both in school back in the day. I'll be installing the Sprint Booster in my Taco.
Lol you complained about other videos being produced, while this video is being produced. You obviously work for sprint booster, thus this is a bias video. Not saying the other products are better but the facts are the facts.
I'm so glad I saw this. Was considering the commander but now I am not. Thank you very much for the video
I bought the BS for my dad's 06 f150 since it was a complete dog with only 230hp, after the BS the truck felt lively and nimble and hes had it for over a year now with no complaints. Now I have a 07 Sport trac 4.6 and I wanted to see what a difference the BS made on my truck so I removed it from his truck temporarily and installed it on mine. Needless to say I'll be buying one for my truck asap lol the difference was literally night and day just in sport mode, in race mode the truck just lurches forward with a slight touch of the gas.
I’m looking to purchase the sprint booster for my 2019 Toyota Tacoma limited with the automatic transmission. Will this work properly in my truck and how difficult is it to install? Where can I purchase the unit. Thank you!
I was researching between the sprint booster, the pedal commander, and the pedal monster. I like the sprint booster over the pedal commander. However, I went with the pedal monster by Banks because I like the fact you plug it into the OB2 port and it also gets disabled in reverse. Thanks for a good video.
Pedal monster is an interesting unit to say the least. The fact that they have to lock out reverse when using their product speaks volumes. Never in the history of a owning a vehicle has any throttle cable been disabled when going into reverse. Why? Because you have a one to one ratio. The fact is is that paddle monster gives you more throttle than the percentage that your pedal is being depressed. So when you depress your gas pedal 10%, your throttle blade is opening 20%. It is exactly why, you have to disable reverse because it would be unmanageable. And using the OBD two port is only for power. That just makes it another issue when trying to access your ECUs information. Fact is Sprint Booster is plug-and-play and requires no additional wiring plugs for programming. And you can remove the controller once you set your desired level.
Pedal monster is giving you less throttle control by taking away your 0 to 100% throttle travel. They do this, so it seems like you’re getting more bang out of the product. But in actuality they’re taking out the drive ability. This is just another gimmick in attempt to sell something that is inferior to the original design and inception of throttle control a.k.a. SprintBooster.
@@masterchief370 According to Banks Pedal Monster, the reason they went with using the OB2 is because other units tap off of the power on the pedal connector and could cause potential problems. I don't care about having to remove pedal monster to read ECU info. It is not really any different than removing sprint booster if you have to go to the dealership. Also upon failure of sprint booster, you will go into "limp mode" where pedal monster will not. Believe me, I am not knocking Sprint Booster. I think it is a good product. I would have bought it if I didn't come across pedal monster.
@@scottsmith7348 I just don’t understand why you would pick a product that is taking away drivability by refusing the ratio you originally had. Plus, the ECU will go into limp mode regardless off using the OBD2 port or not if the ECU sees an issue. That wouldn’t change anything . I’ve always kept the motto that simple is best. Adding more connections just adds more to the equations .
Just a thought
How would this work with a automatic BMW with a manual mode... would I be able to keep it on automatic?
Raymond Chenille tell people this...
2 pedals = automatic ,3 pedals = manual.
I have a couple of questions. Great ad btw!
1) Can you give me info on how SB would work in the "twisties" spirited driving? Would it pose a danger when accelerating out of corners?
2) I have a front-wheel drive, 4 cyl. 150hp motor. Would it develop torque steer w/hard acceleration?
3) Some vids say that the throttle opens fully only with a slight push on the accelerator, whereby the rest of the travel to the floor remains dead. Is this true, or is it linear from top to bottom?
Thank you, sir.
Gabe Pettinicchio Sprint Booster works great for auto cross guys so I imagine you would love it. Perfect for acceleration around the apex and knowing where you will be .
Torque steer should be much of an issue depending on your car. 150hp is not producing a crazy amount of torque in most applications . You should be fine .
As far as people saying the throttle blade opens fully at a slight touch is completely false. My video shows this to me not true. Could you imagine backing up? Lol. People come up with crazy theories when they don’t really know the technology. Best part is people saying this do not even own a Sprint Booster .. lolOver 2 million units sold world wide.
@@masterchief370 hey brother...i have a 2013 BMW 535I XDRIVE 8SPD AUTO....PLEASE TELL ME THEY MAKE THIS PRODUCT FIR MY CAR AND CAN I PURCHASE IT....THANKS
@@hassantalib3426 SBBM0003S is the part number they show on their website 😊 Works amazingly well on BMW’s.
I had the pedal commander and it had my check engine light on and one day it just stopped working so i switched to a real peak power mode with the spirit booster v3 and its a lot better and feels smoother on my 2018 charger rt plus just a really good buy.
Hi Daryl , You sound just like many other people out there. Your'e not alone. Glad to hear the V3 is living up to it's reputation ! I loove mine :)
So you had no check engine light come on at all? That’s the main issue I’m concerned about with the pedal comander
Hey Daryl..been 3 months since this comment...how have you enjoyed this??? Been using jets xcelerator...almost got into an accident
@@brundage123419 wow is the jet xcelerater that aggressive?
I JUST RECENTLY PURCHASED THE PEDDLE COMMANDER AN INSTALLED IT ONTO MY 2020 CAN-AM RYKER AN IT WORKS PERFECTLY INSTANTANEOUSLY RESPONSE FROM MY THROTTLE. IT ALSO SAYS IN THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE PC DO NOT SWITCH MODES WHILE DRIVING AND DO NOT INSTALL WHILE ENGINE IS RUNNING. THERE ARE TONS OF POSITIVE REVIEWS ON THE PC. ITS PREFERENCE TO BE HONEST
No link. How do we buy?? I have a 2017 Infiniti Q50.
Google
Dude...pedal Commander is better., this guy straight up lied about it not remembering settings.
What an ass
At the time I owned a 2014 v6 challenger I met someone with a 2013 v6 challenger he had this sprint throttle booster installed. Mind you besides my car had the sinister sport package his had the sport package. Basically identical cars he put the sprint booster in red 100% he hit the gas and I was 100% concerned for my life. I own a 2013 392 now and I'm thinking about one of these I'm worried that the tires will just spin instantly
Kodythebarber drivability is amazingly enhanced . Try one. I think you’ll be amazed 😉
Interesting. Other devices I've seen tested just increase the voltage and open the throttle more for the same pedal movement rather than faster to the same position. People swear that's the only thing all these devices do and can't do more unless the ECU is tuned/ flashed
I bought Sprint booster for my 2015 V6 Camaro Convertible, it worked wonders, I will be honest I was totally skeptical and considered cancelling my order before it even shipped out, but I’m so glad I waited, the throttle response theory explained in this video is not an exaggeration, my engine woke up per say when using this controller. I keep mine on Race 7-8 all the time since 9 is a little too much for my liking. I would totally recommend this product.
How many years do u use it for and did u have any issue
Great presentation. Thank you!
Utterly biased presentation if you ask me...
Why do you need different levels of control (1-6) don’t you just want responsiveness always?
from my point no you do not.. If your town driving with 50km max speed and down to 30km then no, and then we got cold climates
with sub zero then I want the eco mode not for less fuel but for soft slippery driving. From my point the Sprint Booster (and other modules)
are lacking a feature for a dial input say for 3 modes, snow/eco, city, sport. Then I could program my throttle for what ever driving style
suits my need in that time and place/surface and to say that a car comes in eco mode original is just............................ NOT CORRECT it is a compromise.
P.S. Sprint Booster got one BIG thing and that is stick shift or auto for the reason that you do not want to put extra load on your auto unless you really need it.
what's the model number for a 2018 dodge challenger with the 392 hemi?
Look it up on line to get the best one for your right..i have two in each car..works great so far after 8 months and going
They're all about the same now with the Sprint Booster model update. I guess it's a matter of brand preference. Bottom line, if you do not want to overcomplicate with tunings, any of these products are right for you,
Thanks man .hey does this void your warranty and do you have to discount it when you go in for service.. thanks keep giving us the real deal us Ram 1500s need yah.. Thanks
A lot of the forums for Toyota Tundras/Sequoias recommend the pedal commander, which I have had for a week now. I wish I had heard about sprint booster, which seems much more convenient and easy to use in comparison. I paid $300 for the unit.... Yikes. Anyways, thank you for the video!
I love this thing....you can have a throttle bottle the size of a raccoon, if its slow to open, you're slow to go. I'm definitely getting better gas mileage due to the control of tip in.....the performance is on another level!!
Just purchased, made the mistake of buying the pedal comm last yr. Didn’t do my research, looking forward to the real deal
Did you not like the pedal commader?
I'm looking to add one to my RAM1500 3.0 EcoDiesel. Having trouble finding out if I need a specific one for a diesel engine or if I can use the same one as the 5.7 Hemi.
Eco mode os very useful if you have very limited traction. Compare a vehicle in 4low that has a standard cabke throttle or a reduced sensitivity throttle
Factory throttle is already slow and delayed . It’s literally why this technology was invented by Sprint Booster . Making it slower just exasperates the issue and IMO make driving more dangerous and unpredictable. The fact remains that throttle cable have you a 1:1 ratio for years and people were able to modulate the throttle in poor weather conditions or ground conditions. Having control is what the driver needs💪🏼.
Great Video! What would happen if this device fails while I am driving on the FWY? Will the car go into limp mode with zero throttle response? That is my worry as it if for my GF car. Thank you
Hell yeah brother I’m in wonderful display by the way
Pedal commander works and it's not awkward at all. The main problem is that it will eventually fail. Mine has done so twice now. They did fix it the first time but I have not tried again. I might. It does make a big difference on my modded Hellcat. The throttle response is insane but again it will fail
I just got one , what do you mean they fail are they worth keeping on if the fail ?
Valet mode? What the hell the difference between valet mode and eco mode on pedal commander???? Your bad mouthing pedal commander because eco mode slows down the car which is good for new teenage drivers!! Then you say that’s stupid and dangerous! Then it’s we have valet mode turns 300 horses into 70🤣🤣🤣 isn’t that eco mode just couldn’t call it that?
Clint Edwards valet mode doesn’t “slow “the throttle blade down as the claimed ECO mode does. Sprint Booster still gives you the throttle response , it just limits how much the blade actually opens. When PC says they have ECO mode they are slowing down the blades movement . This has been proven and there has been many complaints on how dangerous it feels. Sprint Booster came out with this technology to fix the delay, not slow it down. It kinda defeats the purpose 🤷🏼♂️. Oddly enough using Sprint Booster in any mode tends to give the user better gas mileage . As long as you don’t have a lead foot of course lol. This has been talked about before for years. They just don’t market the technology in that nature.
Now would some type of reprogramming be necessary for this installation?
Would definelty be down for the Sprint Booster if had the $ but I have the Pedal Commander for 120$ so it's not too bad when comparing price and performance
I did a google search and also saw a aFe Power 77-16204 Sprint Booster for Jeep, is that the same product/partnership with afe power? I have a 2014 jeep GC Overland i want to make sure im getting the right product.
Without the throttle lag, will it help the gen3 Tacoma’s notorious transmission lag?
Eric x yes! I know many Tacoma owners that love Sprint Booster because it elongates the shift profile.
I’ve also heard of a “shift sense pro “ that works with Sprint Booster . They are both plug and play requiring no ECU tuning
Master Chief thanks. This is going to be a Xmas gift to myself!
QUESTION: for 2020 Infiniti Q-50 RedSport iline - will this interrupt the drive modes of Echo mode, Snow mode, standard mode right up to Sport and SportPlus Modes on how the transmission reacts(and in a good or Bad way-please explain for all us Q50 guys/gals) don’t want it over riding these mode characteristics of the vehicle - would greatly appreciate detailed answer and thank you for this great video👍🏻👌🏻🤘🏻
Could one booster tune two cars? I’ve got a track car, but I could really appreciate it in my daily as well. Thanks.
No, the main unit stays plugged in between the OEM pedal sensor and the wiring harness plug. I guess you could use 1 head unit between two main units, but I don't think you can buy the head unit alone.
The sprint booster is an amazing product!! @sprintboosterusa how bow a nice decal to compliment the rest of them on my tailgate. I'd hate for yall not to be properly represented.
they dont give a shit
Wish it worked on my tractor🤣
Lol.at C64 mention in the vid. We had 4 of em growing up. :)
Excellent video thank you!! Will this work with 2015 Ram 1500?
I've got the Gen 2 version on my 2005 MINI Cooper and my 2015 Jeep Rubicon. Amazing difference. Makes both vehicles feel much more lively. Wondering if it's worth it to upgrade from the Gen 2 to the new Gen 3? I've heard that the red "Race" setting on the Gen 2 is equivalent to "Race" level ~5 on the Gen 3. Can anyone verify? If the Gen 3 is even more lively feeling, I think I'll go for it. Thanks!
i will probably get the Sprint booster based off all the reviews for my car (c63 amg) but to be fair you didnt plug in the pedal booster to compare its responsiveness. Lets be fair, everyone that is getting one of these devices is only getting better throttle response (ie when you push the gas pedal the throttle should respond immediate mimicking how far you push the pedal), and thats it. Pedal Commander is probably fine, but i love how i can unhook and hide the Sprint Booster, thats your selling point right there that cannot be refuted.
Injen advertises , improves mpg by slowing down response.( Economy mode ). Does the original do the same
All I want to do is save fuel
Thoughts, besides don't buy a truck if you want to see a fuel economy!
The fact is, the factory response is already delayed. So slowing it down doesn’t make a lot of sense. I will say this using a sprint booster in green level and driving modestly will already save you gas mileage. When you don’t have to depress your gas more than you actually need to, you willLove save gas. Right now you push the gas 50% just to go 30% therefore wasting more gas in each cylinder. All that gas just goes out the tailpipe.
@@masterchief370
The bank guys arguments that his Superior because if there is a malfunction that their gas pedal will not shut off.
But in your demonstration you indicated that is not true.!
The other argument is that you need to connect to the OBD to get the right amount of voltage. Otherwise if you plug anywhere else you're not getting the right amount.
What do you think of this?
@@Ryan-yi6su first of all if there’s a malfunction, the ECU is going to see it and automatically put it in fail safe. Fail safe is going to stop you from driving the vehicle in most cases. Or it’s gonna reduce the power of making the car mostly in operable. So the fact that they’re pulling power from an OD to port to try to say that you won’t lose power is ridiculous. Again if there’s any disconnect, the ECU will see it and throw check engine light right away. pulling from an OD to port is not needed. Are they suggesting that the OBD to port has more power than the pedal? Because it’s the same amount of power being distributed throughout the vehicle. It’s just another fail point. And the fact that they have to stop, the function of their device when being put in reverse is a huge red flag. The fact is nobody in the history of vehicles had to do this even with a cable vehicle. So why does their device have to do this?
I agree, I just wanted to hear your view
I have a 2018 Ram 3500 and a 2019 Ram 3500. Both trucks have the Cummins. Will this work for the Diesel motors ??
With this kind of mod, there are no limitations on fuel type or the air induction. Older cars (typically 2005 and older) use a throttle cable which is fully mechanical non electric. Newer cars have the electric throttle control which has lag because when you step on the gas, your pedal sends a signal to the ecu, then the ecu sends a signal back to your throttle control telling it to open. This is why you get lag in newer cars. Sprint boost, pedal commander, etc.. they will all be compatible with your 2018 Cummins turbodiesel. It would actually reduce the spool time on your truck and reduce your 0-60 times significantly. If I had your truck, I’d definitely buy one
Mike Gunn works great on diesel motors !
Don't see ram on the application that sucks cause I have a 2017 5.7 hemi ram sport
Raul Quintanilla I just looked, it says SBDO1043s . The two websites I just looked at had it. Where did you look ?
@@masterchief370 at sprint booster .com. I looked under dodge,. Didn't see ram,
Really the best review I've seen yet, great job. The setup you're using is excellent, it shows exactly what goes on with your throttle body, great. So from one squid to another 4.0 on the review.
How is this a review to you? It's a load of unfounded shit talking of other products... He wouldn't plug the other products into his setup because then we would've seen that all of them do the exact same job and he's a BS'er...
I have a GMC 2019 AT4 6.2 its has eco mode, sport mode, and offroad mode ......what will this product do and what mode should I run the truck in while using this product
Teddy Thibodeaux , factory settings are silly to me. It’s like having a motor that wants to give you 100% but you can only get 100% when activating them( depending on which ones) Its almost like the factory dumbs down the truck when all the settings are off. And then gives you more access to it when you select one.
Sprint Booster does what the factory does not.
You can gain alll the HP you want with tunes or settings but you still don’t have access to it as you should . With it installed you will get a 1:1 ratio between your foot and throttle blade. (On diesels it acts differently , almost like a programmer ) . This 1:1 connection is what all DBW vehicles are missing . This is why it seems like you always have a mushy pedal. Once it’s fixed , it’s like a whole new truck . Sprint Boosters transmission programs also protects your tranny from unnecessary wear. I know many dealerships that pre Instal them just to give them an edge over the competition .
As far as modes go, you’ll have to decide for yourself . It’s like volume for your radio. Some like it loud , some like it quieter. It’s a personal preference 😊
@@masterchief370 thx , I will be ordering one today , i was just curious what mode I should run , ive never seen any reviews explaining the process on the newer vehicles
Teddy Thibodeaux Nobody can tell you what you will like. I wouldn’t worry too much about it. It’s easy enough to change setting . Once you find a setting you prefer you can also remove the controller . No need to hide anything or mount anything on the dash unless you want to :)
I have a 21 Toyota Tacoma manual transmission. So I am interested in 0 to 2 on the throttle. I wanted to be more touchy like a throttle cable. Does the sprint booster help that condition.?
