I believe a Weapon R is half the price. Both have the same principle. There is another gentlemen on here that may have more info.
In the mean time try an advanced search, use keyword Throttle Controller and select Search by Title.

Get springs! Best mod in my opinion because it makes the tc seem like a new car look wise, and driving. I think someone on here had an issue with the weapon r and it was causing their car not to start so I would look into the throttle controller for awhile. That's why I haven't pulled the trigger on one yet

I'm the one who had the problem and it was user installer error and I blew a tiny fuse. All is well, and the Throttle Controller is so much fun on this pedal lagging tC.
I also have TRD springs and those look great and feel like stock. I'll post more about the Weapon R in the morning to keep the thread on topic.

Yea I guess I can make a quick video.
Note that neither device will give you HP, but you can drop a feather on the pedal and get RPM's. You are basically (depending on the setting) doubling the amount your pedal is pressed. Lets say your press down a 1/4 throttle, well your ECU is actually thinking its 1/2 throttle. There are a bunch of lame, cheap videos on YouTube, but I'll try and make one that states facts and percentages.

Some older folk on the other weapon r thread kept saying 'if you learn how to drive then you wont need one'.
Its impossible to say that this product does nothing. I will make a rev matching video just to demonstrate. If these kids want to have fun driving there cars let them dude, who the F are you to say?
Its just a $150 and everyone knows there are no power gains. Just better throttle response and perhaps better acceleration.
Hell you can even flip it and turn the product into a gas saver.
In addition: if your are too critical of a person, this product is not for you. Go buy the basic things that you know about. I went into this product with an open mind not even sure it would do a thing. But the other 5 page thead convinced me otherwise.

Everybody go watch this and hit like please.
It was dark outside, and it was a quick review, but I think I got the job done.
iPhone 4 Video. I had my finger over the mic for like 30 seconds lol. I hope the embedded video works.

I understand that it fools the gas pedal, thinking that it pressed in further than it is.
My main issue is, does it make the throttle RESPONSE any better? I can hit the gas pedal, and remove my foot before the engine even revs....it's my one gripe with the throttle.
