PedalBox and SprintBooster!

Really enjoying the PB duhmiko sold me the other day. I expect to have more on this in coming day or two, but: get one!

Love my SB, hadn't really tried a PB. I like having the button for settings as I can turn it off when my wife drives my car.

There's literally dozens of us!

Now that I've got it installed, a couple of notes from my personal perspective:

1) I have no idea how on earth any of you drive with any mode past Eco... undrivable, IMO, with so much sensitivity!
2) Even Eco mode has some serious sensitivity
3) The cable is way too short... needs to be longer to be able to route it into the center console or something...
4) There is a bit of a jump in responsiveness once you get past a certain pedal point, kind of like a multiplier increases all of a sudden - quite strange
5) I'm on my 4th day and I STILL can't do smooth upshifts because I'm struggling to get used to it, where this was not an issue with the stock mapping
6) Rev matching on the downshifts is quite a bit easier when only doing 1 gear down - multiple gears down is definitely messing with me. I'm used to mashing the throttle to the floor to go from 6th to 3rd, but with this, it doesn't work that way and it way overrevs. Getting used to this is taking longer than it should be.


We'll have to see how this pans out...

Here's my report after about a week of use. I've been dialing down the settings over time, and am now two LED's below the Sport setting. It may be because I spent a few days skirting danger with higher Sport settings, but I am not bothered by the car's performance in this configuration. I'm not having the reaction BP reports immediately above. Shifting has been smooth, but I also just had my CDV disabled. I continue to experiment with settings, and may well dial down performance further with time. I really enjoy having the PedalBox online, that much is certain.

My only real gripe is with the cable length: my control unit has wound up underneath my seat and of course there are several reasons that's not the optimal placement.

BTW: reading around has shown that the multipin jack at the top of the control box is for USB connection to a laptop: as if the 21-odd settings are not enough, you can apparently launch program that lets you custom-map settings of your own.

Do you know if that is the official use for that port? If so, any idea where to get the software for it? I'd love to take a stab at creating a custom curve...

I will search around right now. I didn't bookmark it.

ON EDIT: FOUND!

I had a learning curve with the Sprint booster but not nearly as bad as BP describes with the pedal box...

I wouldn't be surprised if you removed it...I tested out Shawn's and had it in for about 4-5 days and it was gone. WAY too sensitive. Maybe I am just SO used to the stock throttle it just doesn't bother me. I like the notion that I just need to mash it to "go fast or get up in the rev range" That's it. Not just barely tap it and WHAM i'm redlining...feels off to me.
