I'm just doing a little research on these and just wanted to get the reviews of the seasoned vets on them. Whats the difference between Sprint Boosters, Electronic Throttle Control, and Chips? I understand all change engine paramenters, and therefore affect the horsepower, performance, and MPG. What are the pros and cons of each? Are there certain companies that you'd recommend? Thanks for any insight.

If they were cheap enough I would get them. I just flip my ECT switch to on and do a C shift to get the ummmph and the Injen sound adds to the full experience, LOL!

Unless you're in a real hurry ALL of the time, it's really not worth it. Keep it in PWR mode and gate shift while watching your RPMs.

I bought the Pedal Commander which claim to be German made. Every time I plugged in, after about 150 miles of operation, the CE light comes on. I had tried it 4 times and had the same results. I reset the CE light every time!!!!
Now, I just use the power mode and left the throttle controller in the garage hidden from my wife!!!
Guys are right, they are not worth the money or trouble at all.

Here's a new one (to me anyway) that I haven't seen before. GF Performance.

They are cheap but I don't know if they are effective or not.
