Just curious if anyone has tried one of the Pedal Commander devices. 300 is a bit steep for it but curious on reviews from the pros on here

Pedal Commanders are just snake oil.

They just tell the ECM you've pushed the pedal further. So basically 25% pedal position become 50%, 50% pedal position becomes 100%, 100% Pedal position is 100%. Might not be the exact ratios, but exactly literally as it works.

Another thing to consider is that the ECM has a map that changes accelerator response based on RPM(and maybe even load) and pedal modifying boxes mess that up royally.

So save the $300 and just push your pedal further on your own.
