I went to the pedalbox website again and read more about the product... saw one of the chart they post and I have an idea on how does it work but I am not sure is it necessary for a street car.
( Click to show/hide )
Basically it's a module that allow the driver to adjust what's called... the "Throttle-Curve" It alters the values between the actual-throttle-position and the ECU-throttle-position. Therefore, when the gas pedal is 50% depress and ECU might thought it's at 60% or 70%. By reading its diagram, the adjustment is most effective through the mid-range. I am not sure how much it can improve/correct the problem that Mr.kenchan is experience since he is complaining the initial throttle-response. Which...the pedalbox has the minimum effect on that position. My opinion, this module is more suitable for track use since the driver can: 1) Adjust the throttle-response according to different track lay-out. 2) weather condition (dry/high traction surface more responsive vs wet/low traction less responsive) On top of that, I am wondering the adjustment will lose its "effectiveness", not from the device itself, but the driver itself will get used to responsiveness of the throttle. alcheng's conclusion: Save the $499. CAD$0.02 |
