What accelerator pedal everyone using?

[70chall440]

I am continuing my research for my 5.7 swap in my 71 Charger (already have a crate 5.7) and am looking at what I want to do for a throttle body and subsequent throttle pedal.

My first thought is to use a modified TB that uses a cable, therefore I can use the stock pedal. However, I am looking at a DRW TB and pedal as an option.

Looking for some thoughts, ideas, experiences, comments. I just read one post on here about a TB that went into limp mode requiring it to be replaced, so that kind of has me meaning more back towards the cable option.

My 2015 JGC 5.7
I use the Pedal commander
It goes inline with the cable to the pedal
I have only had a engine light fault when you change settings while the car is in drive

light will go off by itself
There are a lot of settings to use
I use sport plus

Thanks, I am looking at that pedal. I also been checking out the pedal commander and I am intrigued, thinking about getting one for my 2014 Ram 2500.

You can use the factory pedal, 03-04’ truck pedal box. It converts the pull of the cable to am electrical signal that then goes to the throttle body.

I've been reading about that, I think however the dedicated pedal is probably a better idea, less moving parts overall. Since I already have a TB, I think I will use the JGC pedal, if something breaks I know I can get parts.

I'm currently using the petal out of a 2008 srt8 in my 68 charger with a 6.1. Really sets too far back to be comfortable. Would you go into a little more detail how you used the truck petal for the 5.7
