Never heard of the Sprint, only have had the PC. I like the PC because it has a lot of options. Don't like that you generally have to be stopped to make a change. But that is probably the case for any other throttle controller. Con is probably the price, they just had a big Easter Sale.

I don't know of anyone having both and doing a side by side comparison. I've had the PC on all three of my 4th gen trucks and have always had great results and never had a problem. I do not ever change the setting, I found the one that best suited my driving style and set it there and was done with it. I bought it from Moe's at what I considered a fair price and received the warranty. I have recently seen a few different kinds of "knock-offs" on the market at lower prices but never had a reason to look into them. I'm completely satisfied with the PC and would purchase another one.

Hey, what do you mean have to stop to make a change? When I used my PC w/Bluetooth, I could switch either on the unit or phone.

They do say not to change while accelerating or basically while foot is on the gas. So I let off gas, change setting while coasting, then push the skinny pedal.

Gotcha, IMHO

You might be expecting too much from PC. It's a decent upgrade for small money. It only changes the 'elect throttle' response. It doesn't actually change performance. Plus, not sure why you'd need to make changes w/o at least letting off the pedal.

I liked my PC when I had it. I have since moved into a true tuner.

A "true tuner" does not do what PC does. A PC is not a tuner. I have a Diablo Trinity T2 with HEMI Fever tuning. The T2 allows you to adjust the throttle sensitivity up to 30% I believe. Meanwhile the PC has some 36 settings or something like that. So more options, and able to change relatively "on the fly". Someone pulls up to you at a red light, quick change and boom instant throttle response.

I believe that you have to stop to make a change because otherwise you will throw a code. Some people's trucks have gone into limp mode. Plenty of threads on this, use search function. I had some weirdness on mine when I first installed my PC but no problems since.

I think this may depend on speed or position of throttle when doing it. I tried doing it while driving 80kms twice and both times I got a check engine light (throttle position). I then was curious if this what has been mentioned here and tried 4 times while driving 10-40 kms and I didn’t have an issue. I too also have the Bluetooth and use it all the time instead of pushing buttons. That has been my experience and usually keep mine on Sport +4 and never touch it. I haven’t had any issues since the first go around. I did try this after the fact of having the check engine lights twice in a row.
Don’t now if that the reason or not, but I’m going with it lol.

I think you might have misread my comment. The PC is only a throttle position 'change'. The truck's (most new cars) have electronic throttles. All the PC does is 'change' the throttles position. It fools the driver in thinking the have a better running truck. The PC does nothing for a performance... Only a tuner changes performance.

I have the Banks Derringer w/i8 gage. I did have the PC, which I enjoyed - but I wanted performance and fuel changes.

Well I'm not fooled. My truck's response is much faster on a more sensitive setting. Actually recommended by MOES and HEMIfever as a good device to have paired with a tuner.
