    Pedal Commander vs. Shift Power

    A throttle controller is one of the most reliable and simplest performance upgrades you can install on your vehicle. They do not interfere with the engine or how it runs, so they are also relatively safe. Throttle controllers are compact devices that offer huge outcomes, and there are many to choose from on the market.

     

    Competition drives any industry forward. However, too many options may be confusing for customers. This is especially true among throttle controllers, with almost countless choices in every price bracket. 

     

    We offer the most advanced throttle controller on the market, and we can prove it. Let’s delve deep into this and compare our beloved Pedal Commander to another one of our competitors: Shift Power.

    Pedal Commander vs. Shift Power: What Do They Do?

    All throttle controllers aim to do the same thing, and both Pedal Commander and Shift Power promise to eliminate the throttle lag. This lag is common on modern vehicles with drive-by-wire throttle systems (also known as ETC).

     

    Throttle response controllers connect to your vehicle’s accelerator pedal and the engine management unit (ECU). Then they amplify the signal that goes from the throttle sensor to the ECU, essentially removing the initial throttle delay. Simple as that, all of them do this.

     

     

    Almost all throttle controllers successfully remove the delay, but different brands have different (and usually sub-par) features, build quality, or materials. Read on as we’ll cover the similarities and differences between our own Pedal Commander and Shift Power.

    Pedal Commander vs. Shift Power: What Do They Offer?

    Two of the most popular throttle controllers on the market are Pedal Commander and Shift Power, and it may become difficult to decide which one to splurge your money on. You may need a detailed comparison between the two, and we are here to help you as objectively as possible.

     

    There are many differences between the Pedal Commander and the Shift Power, so we will start with the similarities. This is an easy one because the only similarity is that people recommend them. That’s it. We are not kidding; the similarities end here!

    What Does Shift Power Offer?

    The information below is what we can collect from Shift Power’s website, with some of our thoughts.

     

    • Shift Power will set you back at $219.00.
    • Shift Power has seven driving modes (apparently): Race, Super Sport, Dynamic, Original, Valet, and Lock.
    • Out of all these, Race, Super Sport, and Sport modes have almost the same function.
    • Valet mode limits the throttle response by 50% or more.
    • Lock mode shuts down the device completely. It could also be simply called “off,” but each to their own.
    • Their product description states that they have four modes (Dynamic, Sport, Super Sport, and Race). Where are the other three modes?
    • It can be operated via a mobile app.
    • No information about Shift Power’s dimensions can be found on their website.

    Our website clearly states what we offer, and below is a compilation of the most important information for your convenience.

     

    • Pedal Commander costs $299.99.
    • Pedal Commander offers four driving modes: ECO, City, Sport, and Sport+.

    • Pedal Commander has an anti-theft mode as another layer of security when your vehicle is parked. Anti-theft mode makes the accelerator pedal unoperational when activated.
