- After hearing good things about the PedalMax, I decided to get one and install it on my 2016 Mustang GT to see if the hype was real.

I installed the JMS Boostmax on my Ecoboost and it was definitely worth it. I'm going to stack the Peddlemax on it next to take advantage of the 5 extra lbs of boost. With just the Boostmax added, I went from a 5.2 sec 0-60 to a 4.9.
Nice! JMS makes some good products.
Quick question man, I have a 2016 mustang ecoboost as well and it's completely stock with a JLT intake no tune will this product work on my car? Even if I don't have a tune
Yes, this product works. They only thing I don't like about it is that it makes an auto trans car shift hard on the down shifts. It does help a lot if you drag race, really helps reaction time. There Boostmax works also, adds 70 to 80 whp depending on vehicle.
hey does the pedalmaxx increase your 0-60 time? if so how much quicker was yours with before and after? also any hp or torque gains?
Just a simple bolt on, I like it. Nothing like adding something that doesn't need a tune!! Keep the vids coming, I just picked up my 2017 GT a few weeks ago, have watched a few of your vids already, good stuff!
Thanks! And congrats on the new GT!
Do u think I installed it wrong?I just test drove the car and felt a big difference in a good way
Did you disconnect the battery before installing?
+16P51-GT yes I disconnected the battery
+Fuego Ramirez I wonder what that means if you a green solid light and blinking red? Any thought about that?
Hmm, I'm not sure what would cause that then. Mine never did that.
dude you are awesome im surprised this channel hasn't blown up ive been on the fence about ordering one of these for the past few months and you just sealed the deal for me can i suggest it would have been a little bit better had you shown the difference between the dial on and off but regardless keep up the awesome work your reviews are thorough and great
Thanks! I actually haven't installed the dial yet. I only got it for when I take my car in for service or when I let my daughter drive it. But, I'll do a follow up video when I do install it.
Thank you, after I watched your video, I immediately purchased it through American Muscle. Mine will be delivered this coming Friday!! Cant wait!!
Thanks for watching!
another great post can't wait for a chance to catch up with you guys and check out your cars. keep up the great work
Thanks!
Just installed mine yesterday and it is a must have. I didn't get the dial accessory so mines at 100%. My first impression of it at the first tap of the pedal wasn't and isn't like the author, but for sure you get more throttle with less input. Simply rolling into a full throttle gets you the result you want, in fact when I floored it as fast as I could, the ecu must've cut the throttle, because it was crickets for a good half second or full second it seemed. But when I rolled into wot relatively fast (just not instantly), it produced the desired effort (which never happened before). Some might argue a tune can produce the same effect but most tunes likely don't and good luck finding a tuner that will give you exactly what you want. It makes more sense to buy this for an automatic because I never have any issues while in gear (full manual mode), in full automatic mode, it makes the pcm downshift much quicker for much improved acceleration on demand.
Glad you like it! It's definitely a must have.
+16P51-GT this is the second performance mod I've gotten because of your video, the Lund tune being the first. Before this video, I kept dismissing the pedalmax. Every automatic owner should have this!
Cool! Glad you found my videos useful. I agree, the PedalMax is definitely worth it.
It'd be amazing if they just invented a throttle body that was connected directly to the pedal via mechanical means... say maybe a cable? Voila, instant response!
hope the hard shifting isn't unbearable, I have an auto trans. Ready to buy but want to be prepared. thx!
So this eliminates any "dead" responses you appear to get if you press the pedal at the wrong time, say immediately after or at the same time it upshifts? Or lag between the time you press the pedal and when the car downshifts and goes? Can you record a video of you rolling at 40mph and of the instrument cluster and signal to us exactly at the same time you press the pedal all the down by saying "now" to see if any lag exists? I know it's asking a lot maybe, but $300 isn't chump change to just throw around to try it. I currently have the Lund tune and there's still a slight delay imo.
All this does is boost the voltage from the pedal to the throttle stepper motor, there is no gain in power it just increases the speed at which the throttle opens.
This basically simulates a deeper foot press to the computer. Therefore making power less linear. Nothing to do with the dead response. A tune will solve that.
arc00ta it mimicks a deper foot pedal press there "enhanced throttle response." You're probably the type that thinks and intake gives 25 hp.
An(d) intake "gives up" 25hp? Go troll someone else.
arc00ta i meant give lmao, an intelligent person would've realized that.
I've read a fair amount about these. I have an Ecoboost running the stock tune and to me, there's almost a dead zone between 1/3 throttle and about 3/4. I'm wondering if this'll fix that along with a tune.
I'd say it's worth a shot. They make a few different modules though, so you may want to check out their site or give JMS a call to see what will work best.
Let me know how that goes because I have a ecoboost and yeah I'll agree with you it's so dead if you're not in sports mode or have the pedal straight to the floor, I'm purchasing my Cobb access port and this on top of that:)
Cobb is definitely on the to-do list. Will probably end up being the first thing I do once I find a nearby tuner that has experience or specializes in direct injection cars.
How does this effect launch control, if at all?
im thinking about getting one for my 2015 F150 have you had any problems with it yet ?
I removed it when I got my car tuned after adding a "tune required" CAI because it wasn't working well with the tune. But, if you don't have a tune then you'll be fine. It was working with my old tune fine as well. It's just that my new tune already was set to improve throttle response.
love these mods your doing brother! I will have to try this out!
Thanks! I'm sure you'll love it.
another toy I will get , I was waiting for someone to get it , and I trust your opinion thanks man
No problem!
so I ended up buying the full kit. Do you mind telling me where you mounted the remote knob in your car?
I actually ended up not installing the knob. I got used to driving it at 100% before I had a chance to do it.
I just ordered one for my raptor, didn't get the knob, glad to know that was a good choice.. good vid.
After installing it did u get a Solid green light with a red blinking light on?
No, it's just a solid green light. Nothing was blinking.
+16P51-GT do u think I installed it wrong because I felt a big difference in a good way
is thjs considered a tune that will void warranty?
No, it won't void the warranty. It just plugs in line and doesn't alter any of the settings in the ECU like a tune.
have you heard of the pedal commander one thats similar to this pedalmax? if so how would you compare the two?
No, I haven't heard of that. I'll have to look in to it.
Will it mess up the car if I put it in with a tune already
No, my car is tuned and everyone else that I know that has it has a tune on their car as well.
+16P51-GT i tought you removed your tune when ford fixed your car? u put it back?? hehe
Yeah, I did. But I put a Lund tune on not too long ago.
I didn't think I had pedall lag until I installed this wow what a difference
could someone explain to me what this mod actually does and how it'd benefit a stock manual 2013 gt? I have never heard of this before. And I'm just picking up my 2013 tonight lol so I'm curious what this solves. is there a serious throttle lag from the factory?
I wouldn't say there is serious lag. Basically, the device makes it take less effort to accelerate, but it almost feels like your car has been tuned. See VuDoo337's comments above for a more detailed explanation.
I just ordered mine after calling jms. The guy explained that the factory pedal to the opening of the throttle body is always gradual not instant. The pedalmax eliminates that and makes the opening instant.
Ah ok that makes sense, may be worth it down the line then. Thanks for the help guys!
Awesome! Can't wait to hear what you think of it.
I had lag on my dodge ram, after I bought an installed a Superchips tuner the lag went away. The truck actually moves now when I touch the gas pedal.
Nice! Makes a big difference.
I JUST installed the PedalMax on my stock 2016 Mustang GT.. and DAMN!!! this is how the car should come from Ford! super easy to install, (although I'm not a gymnast and older, so climbing under the dash was a bit of a feat for me.. but I did manage it! This simply wakes up the car! I was going to get one of the Ford Racing Power Packs.. but I don't think I need to at this point.. at least for me.
Yeah, it makes a huge difference! And I know what you mean about getting under the dash, haha!
Bill Rich I got my pedal max with power pack 2 install 3 days ago them car become beast and sound wrealy good special on 4 000 rpm
Does it bring life to the Drive position? I usually keep my automatic in the Sport position.
Yeah, it works in all modes. I usually keep mine in Sport as well, but I did test it in Drive.
nice mods your doing thanks for sharing. when will you supercharge your car?
Thanks! It'll likely be early next year. I'm still debating on which one I want to go with.
+16P51-GT thats great keep the videos coming!!
Will do! Thanks for watching.
+16P51-GT seems like several of us are gonna look into FI next year lol.
Yep! LOL
Great to see yourself enjoying yourself so much with this. One question though - on your vid test here, did you have it set on "100%"? It's kinda expensive enough without the dial controller I think and I'm wondering if I can do without that bit. (GT auto too)
Thanks! I actually haven't installed the dial yet. So, it was at 100% and I've gotten used to driving it that way. I just have the dial for when I take it in for service or my daughter drives it. But, the dial isn't really necessary otherwise.
100 % !!! all mustang owners should have pedal max , easy installation I got my with performance power pack 2 manual transmission beast !!!
COYOTE GT 5.0 its plug and play correct? I got the pedal commander which is pretty much the same? Just wonder if the pp2 tune works with this without doing anything else.
I have the Speed Booster (basically same thing) and it helps a lot on my car which is a manual. I have heard that throttle lag can be taken out with a tune. Is that not the case, Ali?
With tuning you can tune out most throttle lag by tricking the throttle body into opening earlier, but it doesn't really do anything at the actual pedal. with that there is still a little lag. The pedalmax and others like it increase the elec signal coming from the pedal itself. which in turn makes the tps see it as more throttle than you are actually giving it. that's why it feels like you have more power and your car is quicker.
+VuDoo337 so, it's still a good mod even with a tune?
+VuDoo337 so what do you all mean by lag? When I'm in gear, there's no lag. I press the pedal and it goes. When I use the phrase throttle lag regarding automatics, the lag is time between when you press the pedal and the time that it takes the computer to decide and the transmission to downshift and put it in gear. Will the pedalmax close this gap? I'll upload a video where I will tell you exactly when the pedals pressed and you can see how long it takes to actually start moving.
Yes it is. I have a Lund tune and Jason's car is tuned and he put one on his and loves it.
+ponie1992 most will say it's an overkill if you get a tune, I installed mine before getting a Lund tune. I have nooo intentions of taking it off. It makes a difference and it's like a 10-15 min install.
What did you have it set at when you were testing it
It was at 100%, I haven't hooked up the switch yet. I was also driving in Sport+ mode.
+16P51-GT just wondering what gave you the biggest benefit the Lund tune or pedal max , I plan on doing both just wondering on what one first
I'd say the tune. But, I haven't tried the PedalMax without a tune.
is this available in v6 and turbo
Yeah, it works on all of them. www.lethalperformance.com/jms-2011-2015-ford-pedalmax.html
+16P51-GT great man.. just wanna say u do an amazing job.. keep up the good work
Thanks bro, I appreciate it.
do I need a tune in order to install this
Nope, you can install it without a tune and just use it for monitoring the cars parameters if you want.
+16P51-GT thanks bro... I'm gonna buy this product.
I was wondering about this product. Thinking about it for my car too.
Get it. You won't regret it!
Hey man will this mod void your warranty?
I doubt it. It just plugs inline, it doesn't re-tune your car or anything.
+16P51-GT is this something u can just take out easily as well? might get this soon. if u love it then its worth to have haha
+16P51-GT i think my 12MPG will end up 10MPG after i install this lol
Yeah, it can be uninstalled in around 5 minutes.
LOL! I'll have to check my mpg to see if it has changed. I usually stay around 13mpg.
Anyone install on a manual transmission 6 speed. What I have on my 15 GT. Wondering if you get the same great reviews as the rest with a stick.
Yeah, I know several people with manuals and they love the results as well.
16P51-GT ok thx for the info. Really enjoy your videos.
Thanks for watching!
Tony P I got for my 2015 gt manual transmission it's worth it 100% you will feel big difference
spotted you again
LOL! What are you driving in?
+16P51-GT white 13 gt
Ok, I'll have to keep an eye out for you! Haha!
+16P51-GT or listen, 😂😂, pretty loud
Ah, ok cool! LOL!
I just figured it out if u plug in the red plug u will get that red blinking light I just removed it and just the green light came on alone:))))))
Oh, good to know. The red plug is what limits it to 40%, right? Without it you get the full 100%
+16P51-GT that's correct
You always produce great videos man thank you
Thanks!
I didn't think you needed these with a tune?
It just adds to any tune that you have.
that's my thought as well.
Yeah, like +VuDoo337 said, it adds to any tune that you have. I have a Lund tune on mine.
+16P51-GT I'm about to have a Lund tune and was told I would not need it
I would say load the tune drive it for a while and then try the PedalMax.
what exhaust does Brandon have?! sounds so good in the video
it's a game changer...does this count as another great mod tip
LOL! Yeah, all credit to you. I'll have to hook you up! You get the long tubes on yet?
they don't show where the wires go
Enjoy your vids man, good stuff!
Thanks!
you zoom in so we dont have to watch you paddle shift? lol
Nah, I switch to the dash cam view so that my speed isn't showing. No sense snitching on myself.
YES I AM CURIOUS AS WELL DO I NEED A TUNE TO INSTALL THIS ON MY 08 GT? . I JUST FOUND THE PART ON AMERICANMUSCLE.COM AND DECIDED TO LOOK UP REVIEWS . THANKS FOR THE GREAT VIDEO MAN .
Thanks! No, you don't need a tune to install it. It can just function as a gauge monitoring several different things that you have the option of choosing from.
Hmmm....???
Great video! I recently installed a pedal max with control knob on a manual 2014 focus and im having an issue. The first month or so it functioned perfectly. The results were wayyyy better than i had imagined. I recommend the product to everyone. However now at random when i start the vehicle, ( Not every time i turn it on, its random ) it will give me an "engine fault service engine immediately" message on the dash whether the control knob is turned off or %100. I have to turn the car on and off until it decides to work. Seems to work ok @ %25 but if i turn it to %100 the car will barely move on flat ground with out stalling. Also @ %100 the throttle has a 1-3 second delay before responding and when it does it will continue to accelerate even after removing my foot from the gas pedal, until the rev limiter kicks in. I think if i disconnect the negative battery cable again it my cause it to reset and function properly the way it did when i first installed it. Any one have any idea what is causing this??? Or how to fix it/ keep it from happening again???
Thanks! I've never heard of the issue. Have you contacted JMS? They'll probably send you a new one.
+16P51-GT I will be contacting them asap.
Cool, I'm interested to see what they say.
Will it work with Roush supercharger??
I don't see why it wouldn't. But if I were you, I would contact JMS first to make sure.
Can I use this and a vmp tune?
I'm not certain. Most people that I know have Lund tunes. You'll probably want to contact VMP and ask them as each tuning company is different. Lund actually doesn't recommend using the PedalMax with their tunes.
