Hey guys this may seem like a dumb question to some but I’ve got to ask. I have a 2013 sho PP with gearhead E-30 tune, upgraded HpFp, air aide cold air intake, MSD coil packs, 170 thermostat, SSM trans/torque mounts. I have never had a forced induction car, I come from the srt8 platform of big naturally aspirated V8’s. I was wondering with all of the aftermarket parts and upgrades and more to come, if a pedal commander would be compatible with the car or would it react crazy. In my srt8 it brought the car to life and was a game changer as far as a driving experience. Does anyone have any experience in this department or back info they can share before I waste money on trial and error process. Thanks

I bought one a while back before modding, that said it is a pedal relay computer that changes the sensitivity of the drive by wire. Now that my car is tuned I have never added it back - just seems silly to.

So from what I understand and maybe someone who has manually tuned using the cars themselves like @SM105K could enlighten my finer points. The tuning process of our calls can adjust the sensitivity of the drive by wire but not make dynamic changes like the pedal commander.


So you could use it with a tuned car... My question is what stresses does it add to the transmission... Many here wouldn't buy one so let's see what comes back.

I will sell mine for $75.

Yeah I don’t know that it will make any change or effect with all the modifications or the strain it’s going to add to the car but I had asked Matt at Gearhead and he said he didn’t have any experience with them that it would be something to post in the forums.
Well for $75.00 it’s worth the investment to see what happens. Send me a DM please @kryptto
