What's available for throttle mapping adjustments?

I've seen PedalBox from TWM as well as SprintBooster (which doesn't appear adjustable?) and I have heard that Cobb AP can be used to make the throttle more linear, but the cheapest option there is $300 for a more linear throttle.

What else is available for throttle mapping adjustment? Is there anything that's FULLY customizable, so if I wanted to make it even almost Log function curve, I could? ( if you don't know what it means, 100% throttle is at 100% pedal but at 50% pedal is closer to 35-40% throttle.)

Buy a COBB AP. Along with the throttle you get all your other stuff plus power.

The PedalBox from TWM as well as SprintBooster won't do what you want. They'll make it so that at 35% pedal you'll get 50% throttle, from what I'm reading you want it opposite 50% pedal is closer to 35-40% throttle. With the Cobb and their ATR software you can adjust it, but if you don't know what you're doing I'm sure you'll have some weird throttle experiences.

That's the thing. I have a JB4 right now, and comparing dyno and log pulls of the 2, they are pretty close to the same gains in all aspects. If I can get a throttle remap, I could see myself being content with the JB4+throttle adjustability, especially if I can get a throttle adjustment for well under the difference of selling JB4 and picking up an AP+protune.

Ah, gotcha. I just installed my AP this week and have only tried the linear throttle setting. So far I like it.
