    I am looking to mod up into a Throttle Control Module, and I am looking at either the Madness GoPedal or the Pedal Commander. I like the idea of going with Madness and coupling it with the Madness AutoFlash. Was curious to see who had either one of them and what they thought about the products!

    Thanks!!!

    I used the Pedal Commander for a while. WHAT a difference in pedal response.
    … and very adjustable.

    I went with the Madness GoPedal. Huge difference in throttle lag, especially starting off. Lots of adjustment. I installed a K&N intake. Gets loud in the upper RPM's. If you finesse the GoPedal, you can get it to upshift into a higher gear and keep the sound down. Still a clunky shifting trans. I also have AutoFlash on my list. They mostly promote hammer down performance. I'm looking for smoother shifting. Still debating. Let me know if you flash!!

    I have Go Pedal. Huge improvement in my 2018 stick shift. It was no pleasure to drive due to lag. Now it's great.

    I went with the AutoFlash for my 2016 TH. This had a noticeable difference. Much better shifting characteristics for the 9 speed transmission, almost in the category of; this is the way that it should have come from the factory.
    No regrets.

    I also went with the Pedal Commander. It didn't last a year before I started to get correlation errors and ultimately shorting out/failing.
    Pedal Commander, huge improvement, but the reliability factor doesn't make it worth the cost.
    Nothing worse than stepping on the gas and going into limp home mode (no throttle response) as you are pulling into an intersection. The good news is, turning off the Jeep and restarting it will get it going again. After removing the Pedal Commander, all of my issues went away.

    I also just put in a Go Pedal last week. What a difference! Still playing around with the settings to find the sweet spot for my driving but so far it's been great. Easy to keep the RPMs up a bit and keep the trans from shifting into 5th while I'm only rolling along at 30 mph. LOL

    I went with a tune from Tork Motorsports on my 1.4 sport FWD manual. Very happy.
