I recently used a tune in my more modern BMW to switch from stock to �linear throttle� which is almost like the opposite of a throttle booster- less sensitivity off the line; and more even through the range.

I found the following write-up on Pelican Parts which is also interesting and some of the facts asserted seem to run counter to the video demonstration.
Leading evidence: 'Use tune in my more modern bmw' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Run counter' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

there have been some threads in the past about these devices. some people like the feeling, others say it doesn't do anything that just pressing harder on the throttle can't do. I have no idea what they cost but I'd say save your $ for other mods/maintenance.
That's an interesting video. I found the following write-up on Pelican Parts which is also interesting and some of the facts asserted seem to run counter to the video demonstration. TBH it does say it makes the car "feel faster". After reading the Pelican write-up I question whether the video accurately reflects exactly how a stock 996 throttle works but people seem to like it and it doesn't do any harm so go for it.

Yes, one of the things I really appreciate about my '72 2.7 with Webers; if my pinky toe twitches the tach jumps. Rev matching/shifting is where I want it most.
First I have heard of the pedal commander. Interesting idea. Not an engineer, so can't accurately judge it's viability. However, i have an 02 996 which I added Revo software about 14 years ago. Not a lot of choices back in the day unlike what's available today. They claimed enhanced throttle response and a little better power band and enhanced power. Didn't really feel the extra power, but I certainly got substantially quicker throttle response, which came in handy on the track and made the money worthwhile.
From the Pelican write-up:
"One more thing to note--since this is purely an electronic modification, if you are having your DME remapped (see
Pelican Technical Article: Updating Your DME with Performance Software for the Porsche 911 Carrera
), then you can also have the software reprogrammed to offer the same effect as the Sprint Booster. If this is something you're interested in, you might want to discuss it with the provider of your software map before you complete your purchase."
My wife has this on her Volvo XC60 R-design. I really don't like as I get a lot of throttle response in parking lots. It seems jumpy to me. I really like to gradual throttle response of the 996 in comparison to the XC60. I think I can more accurately get the throttle I want with it being a little slower. Especially in tight quarters.
These threads always come down to this: People who never had it say it's not worth it. People who have it say they like it. Rinse. Repeat. I don't have one so can't offer an informed opinion, just that observation. I do know that the Sprint Booster has multiple settings and one is "Off", so it wouldn't affect throttle response in a parking lot unless you wanted it to.
I've have one on my 4Runner. Find it useful on that because without it I'd have the pedal half way to the floor before getting any throttle response. Don't feel any need for it on the 996.
I�ve not tried it but I don�t see the qualms people have with the throttle in the 996; I actually like it. I recently used a tune in my more modern BMW to switch from stock to �linear throttle� which is almost like the opposite of a throttle booster- less sensitivity off the line; and more even through the range. I think the 996 is close in stock form except for maybe very slight in the first part of the pedal travel.
I have a cable throttle, so no Sprint Booster for me,...unless.. I could put it on my cruise control to make IT more responsive....
That was a sarcastic joke just encase you didn't get it.....
