SRP racing pedals with heel-toe gas pedal made it a lot easier for me

D2M · 12-17-2015, 04:43 PM

I removed my OEM gas pedal assy. and did a 10min mod to it to make it adjustable left / right. Keeps the OEM look and I can perfectly position it for my preference. Gives a little over 1in left / right adjustment.

Has anyone used the full set of srp pedals? or just the gas pedal?
If so did it bring the pedals more in line with each other?

It brings them closer in terms of height by a millimeter or two, since we remove the original cover on clutch and brake pedals, and leave the gas pedal cover intact (since it's not really a cover).

I pretty much had to learn to drive it again.
for a few days, I'd rev the gas while braking on the street.
heel toe (inside/outside) is all about your foot now; not the pedals.

Do you have a pic of the new pedals installed?

the auto-blip unit works very well on track and makes the aggravation of heel-toe a distant memory. I was impressed how easily it installs and how well it works at speed. My heel-toe coordination isn't very good and kudos to the company that invented such a great electronic aid.

I like it.
I was trying a lil heel toe today and found it to be a challenge. I think the pedals will solve it. Thanks for the pic

I have size 11.5 shoe and I am 6'1". I found the Z/28 pedals to be well positioned. For me, the key was to get the whole right foot completely on the gas pedal at all times, then, I just turn my knee left with my toe pointed up and my heel still on the bottom of the gas pedal. This allows your toe to hit the top right side of the brake pedal. I push forward with my leg to hit the gas with my heel, and move my toes down to hit the brake. To do this, I have my seat all the way back and pretty low, and the recline almost vertical --- this is required to turn your knee without hitting the steering wheel column. With this technique, you never have to roll your ankle to hit the gas. It is all in your knee. The only hard part is to learn to be softer on the brakes, they are very sensitive to pressure and stop on a dime.

I had the same issue. I cut a 1/8" x 3" x 6" piece of aluminum plate and riveted it on. It works perfect for rolling the right side of your foot technique, which i prefer.

You guys can have fun with the pedals. I installed an Auto-Blip Rev Match and never need to worry about missing a downshift. And at 585rwhp it makes a huge difference. You can set the length of duration and height of the rev and it's almost as good as the one in my C7 Z51.

Some of you have way more experience at this driving stuff and I would have liked to learn how to heel/toe but this is my first foray into tracking a car and having a Rev-Match system really makes the driving experience more fun.

My Auto Club Speedway Roval lowest time is 1:489 and part of that is keeping the car in a straight line downshifting.

Have these and love them. Thought I was pretty good at HT shifting, but these made the act much easier, and they look great.

Before installing SRP I felt as though it was taking a lot of effort getting off the gas and braking.
Mental and physical effort that was kinda scary.
I had to be sure that I was getting to the brake pedal because of the distance between pedals.
Taking too much time getting through turns.
With SRP setup confidance in high speed braking greatly improved along with lap times.
