Hi all - I have an '07 Shelby GT (4.6 3V) with about 13K mi. Have added Kooks long tubes, Ford Racing Hot Rod Cams, Hi-Rise Intake and Throttle Body. Love the ride but want to ask if anyone has installed a Trottle Device like the LMS Pedal Max or Sprint Booster (or other). Yay or Nay? and whats been your experience with them. Thanks all!

If you do not want to tune the car, pedal commander will work great for making throttle pot adjustments on the fly. I’m not familiar with the others, but can say the pedal commander will provide a night and day difference in throttle responsiveness.

Lito will take care of that way better than a stand alone device can. And for less $.

Those devices are designed for use with the stock tune only.

Do not try and use one of those devices with an aftermarket tune. I don't like to think of what the worst case scenario of combining those two could be.

My tuner told me to not use my brand new DiabloSport Amp’d Throttle Sensitivity Booster with my twin turbo system. So it is for sale if anyone is interested.
Also SNK-Bit, is that a mono-body throttle body? I have one to put on, but have been warned it is hard to tune or keep idle with it. any words of advice?

What would be the problem with this? The after-market tune would work the same as a stock tune except be set with a different number in a register.

I've looked at my tune and I cannot adjust the throttle setting in it. The difference between a tune and a Pedal Commander is that the PC is dynamic and can be changed depending on current needs.

The tuning companies are not stupid enough to give the end user control of the throttle command. Actual tuners have access to those tables in the PCM and depending what has been done with that particular tune, you could get a situation where the combination of a box designed to "trick" the PCM into thinking that it is giving less throttle angle than it actually is could result in a very dangerous situation.
