Cool, be sure to come back after with your feedback, but I know it's going to be good as I've not had one return on these!

Get it hooked up???
Also, remember, you don't have to mount anything if you don't want to! You can pre set it where you want, then remove the cord, like an aux cable and keep in your glovebox in case you ever want to change it down the road. Many do this, that don't want to mount the switch. It remembers the setting for life.

Are there any websites selling spring boosters with a little bit of a discount or anything?

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 18 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

I ordered one yesterday (Sprint Booster) from Jason at Burtman and I will advise once I get that baby installed. I am curious how it will sound with the TRD intake and a borla catback. I will advise on that as well!

No worries. Cruise control is done through the computer, bypassing the gas pedal. The ECU will control the opening and closing of the throttle body to keep the vehicle at the set speed. It’s called “cruise” control for a reason, luckily. Again, nothing will change with cruise.

I was wondering how the cruise control might be affected with regard to shifting out of overdrive on a slight hill or overpass which the 4Runner is famous for. Would the Sprint booster help this situation or make it worse? Maybe stay the same?

Cruise control will not be effected in any way. I edited my post above, but no worries.

Sure, it can get confusing, but the simple thing is, this will fix the lagged throttle response, won't void any warranties, and won't cause any harm, only improvement.

So I ordered a sprint booster from JasonB or burtman industries, and I have to say....
I was pretty skeptical, thinking its snake oil, hogwash, etc....but I have to admit I love this F@#$@# thing. Basically, the one thing I hated about the 4runner was the artificial throttle lag, and the sprint booster got rid of it, and on top of that, lets you set the sensitivity of the throttle response to your own liking. This is probably my favorite mod as of now because it got rid of something i HATED and then IMPROVED it.
Pros:
1. no more throttle lag.
2. no more trying to time your passing in bumper to bumper traffic
3. allows you to dial in your throttle sensitivity to match your stump leg
4. easy to install, and stupidly easy to adjust.
5. puts the smile back in my commute.
6. pedal lockout which acts like a immobilizer when you need to park your car for extended periods of time.
7. set it and forget it once you figure out what works for you.
Cons:
1. not sure if its worth that kind of coin if the current throttle response doesn't bother you.
2. 18 settings mean you kinda have to figure out what works for you.
3. you are basically paying somebody to fix a problem that toyota knowingly created.
4. maybe worse gas mileage, I don't know about that..I think it helps my gas mileage because I'm not mashing the gas pedal anymore to pass (now I try n feather the throttle like a normal human).
Lastly, Jason was a pleasure to deal with, even going as far to actually calling me to tell me my order was going to be slightly delayed. Yup, dood actually called me before a problem can arise, and yeah. he actually calls (not email, not text, and most importantly not disappearing with your money for weeks on end).
Also, Jason was the cheapest after tax and shipping (even beating amazon).

i've been thinking about getting one for a while and been doing my research. a lot of positive reviews on here for sure. does anyone have any off-road experience with it? i can think of some pros and cons. there's an article about sprint booster and off road coming from JP Magazine on their website. it's specifically about Jeeps? not really sure.
