Cool, they are my fav choices for these trucks. Good deep sound, and doesn't drone.

Great throttle response - Thanks Jason
"Holy S#!T!", is what I said when I hit the throttle for the first time after installing this beauty in my 2003 4runner yesterday.
Even after driving this for a few hours yesterday, I still said "WoW" when I hit the throttle the first time today.
Worth every penny!:bolt:

What setting are you using? I have experimented with many, but have settled on red 5. I thought red 4 was perfect before I jumped up in tire size, but 5 made it feel like it did before the change. I love what it did for the performance of the truck. I know it doesn’t add any power, but because it alters the responsiveness, it definitely feels like a more powerful truck now. I won’t be giving mine up EVER!

From the feedback I've gotten, it seems most set a 9 and forget it. BUt the cool thing is you can fine tune it wherever you want, and it still blows about the stock pedal feel after installed, wherever you may set it.

All this does is increase the signal gain from the pedal positon potentiometer. It does not remove the drive by wire delay to actually moving the throttle body that was implemented after that idiotic floor mat ecu update was implemented.
If you need to move the truck. Floor it and floor it quick. Under those circumstances, this changes nothing.

It will move the throttle body at the same rate that your foot is depressed. Right now if you were to push your pedal down 50%, there is a DELAY to get to 50%. With the Sprint Booster there is no delay to get there. There are many videos on this, and also say for 0-60 times, some are up to half a sec less which is a lot, same idea, fixing this delay.
If you ever decide you want one, I'll give you a full 30 days money back guarantee. The thing works, just some work better on other vehicles, but the 4Runner is one where it shines.

Alright, I've been on the fence about this for a while, but the overwhelmingly positive reviews have sold me! I think I'll pick one up next week on payday

Good/smart move. It's rare to find something that works this good these days. You will love it.

It really doesn’t matter “how” you think it works, what matters is that it DOES work! With the device working to take away the inherent lag in response, you don’t have to floor it to make the truck move, it responds as it should. Trust me, I was highly skeptical of this, and was on the fence researching it for well over a month before buying one. Let’s just say I won’t be sending it back...

I’m assuming you mean green 9, right? That works really well, but I think red 9 would be way too sensitive for daily driving.

I’ll have to test it again now that I’m running larger tires. I tried it when I first got it, but still had the stock tires and it was too twitchy and not smooth. I’m currently at red 5 and it’s pretty perfect for the way I drive, but the higher settings may be smoother now with the heavier, larger diameter tires.

I had mine at green 5. On the highway I liked it higher, but around town the roads here are just too shitty. You start accelerating, hit a bump, and the high sensitivity made it super twitchy. Got much heavier tires and now I have it at green 7 around town.

It is super nice being able to custom tailor the feel for driving conditions or even for particular drivers. For instance, I turned the controller off completely when I brought my truck in for alignment after the new tires and wheels. I’d also turn it WAY down or off if my daughter was driving it (she’s still on a learner’s permit). Any of the green settings are a nice improvement without being too aggressive.

Got mine installed and have driven a few hundred miles with it. It really improves pedal/throttle response. I never liked the delay and didn't like having to stuff my foot into it just to get it to come out of overdrive or downshift. This remedies all of that nicely, thanks Jason.

Oh wow, didn't even think about all the flexibility. I thought most were setting at 9, then unplugging it, or just leaving it at 9, since it remembers.

This is for those that may choose to mount the controller. Again, you don't have to plug it in if you don't want to. You can set it and forget it, and leave it in the glove box if you ever want to adjust later, but once you set it, you don't really need to change.

Install on my 4Runner was a piece of cake
As you can see from picture I used a blank plate and drilled a hole for Cable to fit, very clean
Not sure why 10 min Waite on 4Runner with door open, but I followed instructions
System works great and noticeable throttle response improvement
Stated with green 5 tried 9 then switched to red 9��
That’s pretty much where it will stay
One install tip, I used a skinny dowl to feed controller wire
I’ll give the system a 5stars
Does what it says it will do
