So I got mine and have to say the shipping was fast. I installed it the day after I got received it. I have only driven around the block so far and can tell that the difference is absolutely noticeable and better! After driving around for the few weeks that I have owned it, the throttle response BEFORE the SB was flat and pretty much lame.
It has been raining here for a few days and my Blue Runner is in desperate need of a wash which I am going to do tomorrow morning. After that I am sure my wife and I will be tooling around and I am going to check out specific events such as passing, downshifting, etc.
I will have to say though it is a definite improvement over stock!
Thanks Jason. Next up - front lift spacers.

Thanks for posting this. It really helped me make my decision. I went to Jason's website, but am not sure if the $289 price is discounted or not? It seems a bit steep.

Just ordered the Booster. After copious amounts of research I think it’s superior to the PC. Less complicated. KISS mentality just like the 5th gen 4runner!!
Super excited to get it and shoutout to Jason for replying on a Sunday!

The valet mode and security disabled lock seems worth it alone.

Exactly and that's all I meant buy my reply earlier. Below is a great example of the Sprint Booster VS the pedal commander and some of the Chinese examples. This video shows the proof in the pudding.

That video you linked is by a dude who works for Sprint Booster. The info he is telling might have a slight bias.

This thread is the reason I bought the PC and I loved it. Sold the 4Runner, but kept the PC. It's up for grabs if anyone is interested in it, let me know.

Reverse
This may be a silly question, but how do either of these boosters effect going in reverse? It seems like these devices may be a little too “punchy” for going backwards. Do you turn them off? Is it manageable? There’s no effect?

Actually not a silly question, just never had anyone ask it. It will just make the truck feel like any other car/truck felt made before 2003. The same feeling. Any car before 2003 had a metal cable on the gas pedal going to the throttle body, which was more direct feeling.

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, green 7 seems to be the favorite setting for the 5th gen.

I got the Pedal Commander (used from a member on here) and it was a great addition to the car. I'll go as far as to say it's basically mandatory. I picked up my '16 Trail Premium a couple of months ago and was actually having borderline buyer's remorse because of the horrible throttle response. Completely fixed by the Pedal Commander!

PC works great. After 5 months of use on my 2019 it gave engine sign.. .saying poor communication in the throttle response system. contacted PC tech support and found that the connector at the pedal needs to be secured properly so that it doesn't get loose. from what i can see the socket is tight enough to not get loose but who knows. had to do reset code and reconnect PC while the car was off. working ok for now but when it happened the 4R stopped doing more than 90km speed while i was on a highway... was scary. not sure if sprint booster acts like this on/off.

This is the risk we take by using these. I would expect this could happen to any of these throttle body controllers. PC/Injen/Sprint/etc.
