Default Gas pedal mod question

Has anyone tried to modify their gas pedal? I remember reading a DIY for 05 and up mustangs when I had mine and it made me think of trying it out. I wanted to see if anyone has already tried it, If so did it work and where did you get the pedal. I tried a search and all I can come up with is the sprint booster, which if the mod works does the same thing for free basically!

You talking about this ?

THE "MINI SPRINT BOOSTER" MOD:

I did the item 4 steps to reset the TB, but only pressed the pedal to the hard spot, instead of to the floor. And be sure to leave the key in during step (4) .

The results were great. Due to this method, at about 1" typical pedal stroke, you are telling the ecu and TCM that there is about 20% more load than before the mod. The benefits include:

-> higher shift points
-> quicker/easier to downshift
-> a more peppy drive with less lag
-> cost is $0

As far as 0-60 or 1/4 mile times, no improvement there.

No, but I might give that a try! The mod I was speaking of involves opening up the pedal housing and adjusting the contacts inside. Here is a link for the mustang.

I put a Sprint Booster in. While it does not do any HP increase, it does improve the throttle response.

With a throttle by wire system, I would be very weary to mess with the electronics, you may end up with an all the time accelerating XF like the Toyotas were doing a few years ago
