I have one of these for my 21 Bronco and it totally makes it more responsive and fun to drive. Mines the manual so I can really get into it and use the rpm’s to race around. Ultimate 9 makes a great product

[@baby_king9ine]

I can see how these would be insanely fun on a manual 😂

For what a read for Jeeps.. Pedal Commander is the best. You have many modes to choose from. Eliminates that lag or hesitation so your vehicle is instant and uses every bit of horsepower your engine makes. It wakes it up!! I need to one to wake up my Hemi!!! 🇺🇸🐻🇺🇸

So far I like the one I have... we'll see over time how it holds up.

I'd like to mention if you do more research, you will find they fail and cause all sorts of issues after a while, I know cause after a year or so it failed on my 2016 KL Jeep and set off all sorts of lights and codes! hopefully this unit doesn't and seems to have a better warranty.

[@hailcaesar6185]

the only acceleration it improves is clearly when you're already going like 30-50 and want to get up to speed, that's where the difference is... on my car even if I plant my foot down it'll accelerate after GTA 6 comes out, but this device made it a totally different car

[@Adjeoda]

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@off-roadingexplained8417]

Even if all it changes is your throttle response you're still going to get to full throttle faster so it has to make a few milliseconds difference

[@zadeh79]

.2 to .5 seconds quicker depending on car.

[@MrKozanitis]

I have one on my 2020'JGC Trailhawk. It does eliminate the lag, but it also seems to have affected, read worsened, my mpgs. It's gone from 20 mpgs on the highway to about 17-18 on the same stretch and under same climatic conditions.

[@armandgehan6063]

funny enough, that’s the point of the lag. to save petrol

[@yuyuyu9029]

[@futureairways5099]

Because it doesn't add any power, it's as if your putting your foot to the floor at each stop which isn't how most ppl drive. It's way more aggressive = more fuel.

I have a 9-Drive electronic gas pedal in my 2005 Subaru Legacy GT and in my opinion, the 9-Drive has done more than any other mod or mods that I’ve had on my previous cars. It’s easy to install and it works. The 0-60 is 4-5 seconds because with a turbocharger you have to wait for the turbocharger to spool up and give you more power but aside from that and like I already said, the electronic gas pedal is the way to go.

[@rook3364]

That’s pretty slow with all that mods

2step will help with turbo lag by building boost before launch

[@mzsinko0984]

I had and an electronic gas pedal or electronic throttle control on an 06 Subaru Legacy GT Limited and an 05 Subaru Legacy GT Limited and that really woke that little turbocharged 2.5l engine up a lot, it just made it seem to be faster which is why I liked it so much and now I’m getting one for my current car which it needs a lot even though it’s naturally aspirated (NA) which is no turbocharger or no supercharger for those that actually read this and don’t know what NA means.

[@stevengonzalez4512]

Same with my 2015 Camry SE , it's naturally aspirated

Try doing it again without traction control cause the system is fighting you🤔

[@yorkiepit]

[@richarcm]

Obviously this tool isn’t meant to make your car faster. It’s meant to get rid of throttle lag. A real test would be pedal to 30 (or 60). Not 0 to 30. With or without the controller the test begins when the vehicle begins to roll. Not when you press the throttle.

[@ElhassenGIS]

Thank you very much, please try pedal commander

[@CommentCorrector]

They do the same thing to the same degree. The issue is the cheaper ones will start going bad after a year and you have to uninstall and reinstall to correct it

[@CommentCorrector]

It doesn’t add power or make your car faster. If you time it from when the car actually starts moving instead of when you punch the pedal, you’ll see it’s the same

[@archelfrancisco]

Hi, I like your videos a lot and I am a subscriber because it helps me and others, if you don't mind can you give feedback regarding safety issues, My question is what if the throttle controller's device suddenly fails? or was the little wire accidentally cut? Do we still have the control of gas pedal, especially on the highway? or it will be back to normal mode? Thank you for hoping you can enlighten us. thank you again!

if it gets unplugged or disconnected it goes back to regular pedal response. no effects with the engine and nothing gets damaged if it messes up

[@jackwsandoz]

22' wheels are the most likely factor but I'd say ³/10 of a second is the kind of variation you can expect to see on any given day. Also, keep in mind, that the 6.7 sec run, includes 1' of rollout *if* it's taken from a publisher, like Car & Driver or MotorTrend.

[@ragedashboard6374]

Lots of places online get the v8 version mixed up. V6 is 7+ seconds, v8 is 6.5-6.7 seconds, SRT 4.5 seconds, track hawk 3.5 seconds.
