Pedal commander pros/cons/problems

[boogielander]

ran a PC on my 4Runner before, worked fine but honestly I'd spent my money on something else.
then got myself a sports car when I want to feel the power and eliminate "delay"

currently not running any of those pedal things in the truck because I really don't see the point... it's a truck and it drives like how a truck is supposed to. If I want the thrill on pavement that's when I take the M car out.

Then I apologize. Its hard to tell people's tones on these things. I appreciate the input and understand your position, nothing I've owned has ever stayed stock. In this case though, I just bought the truck in June with 13,000 miles and dont plan on doing much performance wise as I dont want to avoid my warranty and dont want to constantly be working on it (I always upgrade broken parts, which is what lead me to having 30k in upgrades from drive train, bearings, ecm, tuning, suspension, and everything inbetween in my cummins lol). The intake and exhaust on this truck were for a little bit of performance, fuel economy, towing, and help push the 33's a little easier (and I wanted a little bit of a deep rumble without having an exhaust that wakes up the kids and neighbors when I fire it up at 5am. The throttle body spacer was a cheap gift from drunk me to sober me while cruising the internet lol. I know the throttle boosters dont add any performance per say in the way of horsepower, but I am not a fan of the "fly by wire" accelerator and it feels like it takes an hour for the truck to respond when I put the pedal down, so I was looking for something to help shorten that gap and make it feel more like a cable driven accelerator.

No problem, it's kind of difficult to realize others intentions without a crystal ball (mine fell off my desk and shattered in the 1994 Northridge, Ca earthquake) My background goes back to the 1960's (I'm 73). Every vehicle I've ever owned has had some sort of performance modification, until this RAM; the only thing is a oil catch can. My 1st car was a 69 Z-28 bought new. Back then, headers and an intake with carb were just about mandatory. Wheels and tires were next. If you were mechanically inclined, a cam and valve work was next. A timing light and Tach/Dwell were the only things you had for a "tune-up'. A/F ratio was adjusted by pulling the plugs and reading them. I went thru several cars over the years and each one had something done to it.
At my age, my thinking has changed as to modifications: anything you can do at a reasonable price is generally not worth the cost/benefit analysis. With today's electronics, the factory's get everything pretty close. I wish I could take today's electronic package back to the day and slap them on a 60's 426 Hemi. It would be fun to have a Charger that ran 10's while using the A/C.
