Throttle Response modifiers are surely a great product. They make the car feel more powerful without actually touching the engine, just cutting the lag in time between pressing the pedal and the ecu acting on it.

I have been using these from amongst the first companies to come out with it - SPRINTBOOSTER.

I have had fantastic results in my BMW 520D and Skoda Laura, and around 8 or 9 friends BMW and Mercedes. All are very happy with it.
I also installed it on a cousin's Innova and thst too was great.

I second that. It would make the throttle response very sharp.

But I wonder if it's worth. You would have the same acceleration if you press the right foot harder in stock setting.

This box wouldn't improve overall acceleration/Power/Torque.

You will get better throttle response with lesser input on A pedal. I would prefer real happiness than pseudo happiness .

Naren, trust me, once you use this, you will not go back. This is not creating a pseudo effect. It is actually cutting down the lag time between pressing the pedal, and the ecu reacting to it. It is worth more than its value. It is not tampering anything in your engine and making your car quicker to accelerate.

For example, if now the ecu takes 1 ms to act once u prrss the pedal, sprint booster or other throttle response enhancers, will cut that time to 0.5ms.

It's an addiction. You won't like ur car without it

As i said, i have put these in 2 of my cars and in 8-9 friends cars, and everyone is very happy with it.

Now i am looking for this for my Hyundai Elantra, but sadly not finding one.

I am very very sure that this box will make any driver happy. But when you think technically and look at working of the box, it doesn't give any better acceleration than what the stock car has.

Now with this pedal tune box, press 60 percent of throttle and you are happy.

But I really don't mind pressing the A pedal harder to get the same response instead of buying a box to do that work for me .

It is wrong that pressing the pedal 60% or pressing the pedal fully, is what this box does.

Please understand, it is about the time the throttle takes to react. This is about instant acceleration.

If you are happy the way the car is, then you will be wasting money on this, but for some like me, frank, etc.. where we get real excited if we are able to extract more performance.

This is just another overpriced 2 rupee variable resistor/potentiometer in a box. All it does is modulate the 0-5v change over less pedal travel.
If you want that just stab the pedal just like someone said earlier. Or replace the resistor with an on-off switch for instant acceleration

Yes, it is definitely over priced. I just went through the PDF document. Quoting the conclusion part from it.

The Sprint Booster is a simple amplifier that multiplies the accelerator pedal sensor signal, making the accelerator pedal more sensitive. It does not eliminate any significant delay in throttle response, nor does it greatly improve acceleration figures. It does not change the adaptive throttle control programming of electronic throttle control vehicles. It does change pedal “feel”. This change in feel is interpreted by some as improved throttle response, acceleration, and a change in adaptive throttle control programming. Considering what it actually does, it is expensive.

I'd sincerely request a small drive around with a box like this. In theory, everything sounds like a bitter pill to swallow, but the gains of this thing are far beyond what a resistor in a box would give you.
I can only speak of the benefits because I own one. I've ordered one for the Honda. Once I get it I'll tell you how it works on the Crio!

Here is an article that is worth reading. It talks about everything pertaining to sprint boosters.

Another informative article about pedal tune box. Many guys have been fooled by this. It doesn't even cut down the lag actually. I find this box funny, I still say push the pedal harder and you will get the same result like what a pedal tune box does with pressing the pedal lesser.

Can it be used alongside with a tuning box such as race dynamics ?

Yes, you can.

However, unlike a real tuning box, it doesn't add any power. And given that a tuning box already gets you sharper throttle responses, the whole point of installing this box is lost.

Even in this article the blogger hasn't used the box himself. Also if you go through the comments no one who has used it have said it doesn't work. He is going by theory and logic and not through experience.

Even the author of that article said that those who have used it have found the difference. But he is only posting the logic that it doesn't increase the 0-100 sprint timing, power or anything. It's just for mental peace or the placebo effect.

1500 km with the PedalTune, and I CANNOT tell you how used to it my wife and me have become. Once, just to test my wife, I switched to 'stock' mode and sat in the passenger's seat.
She drove 10 m and looked at me and asked me, "Ay, you removed that nice thing you had put in the car?!"
I was amazed at how used to it I have got myself. I switched it to stock mode for myself, just to see how much better it feels in RACE mode, and I couldn't resist switching back to it. It's INSANE, the beauty of this small box. It just makes city driving a pleasure. Just a small dab on the Accelerator takes you far, far away from all the muggles around!


Anyway, something cool just happened. I took the same stretch of road at the same time, twice. Once with Pedal Tune off and once with it on.
The car was kept in 'S' mode to eliminate driver error, and my foot was pinned down to the floor at all times in both runs. Traction control was off, and there was no other factor that was different in both drives.

What ensued next, SHOCKED me! SAME CAR, SAME DRIVER, SAME ROAD! But just look at the numbers!


This is with PEDAL TUNE in RACE +3 mode:



This is with PEDAL TUNE in STOCK mode.



I couldn't be happier with this mod, and I am waiting for the #crio Pedal Tune box to arrive!
