$400? I thought $300 for a Sprint Booster was a lot.

Also, in b4 just press the pedal faster.

I have their shift light, and just about everything they make is clever in its design. Not sure I'd even bother, unless you have money to burn. I'd just buy a tune, and call it a day.

The pivot Throttle controller is quite unique and different from the Sprint Booster.
Essentially, they do the same thing which is change the throttle opening angle based on depression of the gas pedal.

However, the Pivot is one of the only products that will allow you to fine tune this instead of just having 2 different modes.

For us, this was especially useful when we had a tune on the car. We could lag the amount of throttle opening (ECo Mode) when driving in the city. This also improved gas mileage for us.

When wanted it to be at stock (Normal Mode) we could do exactly that.

Also, for super sensitive gas pedal fee, we could set it all the way at SP7 (highest sport mode) and really have much more of the throttle open at less depression of the gas pedal.

the Eco 5 mode was always the "Valet" mode for us, when we valet the car or let someone else drive it.

More than anything, it was really fun!
