What is a pedal commander?

I want my car to have more power and response. Will a pedal commander help me achieve that?

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
Who doesn’t want a car with more response! A pedal commander is a throttle response controller designed to remove any response delays on your accelerator pedal. It might be a good option if you want a greater response when you press the pedal.
Other additions you can make to your car to up its response time are:
  • Replacing your spark plugs
  • Upgrading mechanical parts (since these can determine horsepower)
  • Installing or upgrading an air intake
  • Upgrading the carburetor
