2020 4Runner V6- Feel any faster than the 2014-2019 model?

The main difference between Pedal Commander and Sprint Booster is that the PC is only when its plugged in, and as soon as its removed it just goes back to how it drove stock while the SB stays in the system until you clear it? Seems like PC is a better way to go if under warranty, right?
 
Plug and play or unplug and walk away.....PC is simple and does what it says it will and that is a rarity now days. For $249 it is the best of the thousands of dollars I have spent on the Truck as far as improving the truck. I was completely skeptical and resisted getting it....not now. The Wife likes it even more as She is really an aggressive Driver and it makes passing much easier with the quick shifting when you punch it. Sure, I would love to bolt on some Gizmo that gives it 50 HP but short of the Supercharger there isn't anything easy we can do.
 
I’m sure Sprint Booster, Pedal Commander, etc. result in improved driving experiences For some people under certain circumstances. But it has to be important to you before you consider it worthwhile. A different throttle response from stock just isn’t important to me.


Well, of course not. It’s not something you “need.” It’s all personal preference. I enjoy having a better throttle response around town and on the highway. When I’m on the beach or somewhere off road, I just turn it off. The highways are very congested in my area and people drive pretty fast and crazy. I enjoy having a quicker throttle response on the highway to quickly get around someone or be able to react and accelerate quickly for some reason.

Have a 2018 OR and this seems to have helped so far

Sprint Booster
93 Shell octane, for some reason Shells seems to run best so far. I would try 91 but I haven't seen a gas station with it here in Austin, Tx.

I also use Toyota motor oil, seems to run smoother than Mobil 1 . Just my experience though.

My understanding is that SB has a control module that plugs into the main module. If you remove the control module, the main module just remembers the last setting that the main module was set to and operates accordingly. Both units stop working when the physical connection between the pedal and the computer is restored to stock.
 
If any of you fly or drive R/C, then you know Toyota has added expo to our throttle control to help us...erm...drive more smoothly and save fuel. Pedal Commander allows you to dial in your own expo curve.

I'm curious to hear more about this and how it pertains to Sprint Booster and Pedal Commander.
 
This is a graph of how (negative) expo works on an R/C transmitter to lower the sensitivity at small inputs and still gives 100% at max.
The pedal commander would allow the user to alter the curve to make the pedal more sensitive in the first few inches of travel.
Higher end R/C transmitters have 5 or more points of adjustability instead of just 0 and 100%. This is practically a must to fly helis.

Toyota GR engine - Wikipedia

i know its wikipedia so its up to you whether u want to believe it or not.. but there is definitely a felt difference for me

Your right, I don't believe it because it's not true. As a matter of fact, Toyota removed this from the manual early on with the single VVT-i engine. I run 91 in my Runner now only because I've experienced pinging in my Tacoma, not because I'm expecting more power. States that allow no or lower ethanol in their high octane fuel may see a touch more power but there's no octane sensor in the system. It's tuned for 87.
