    Wow!!!!!!!
    Has anyone installed one of these? I am supper happy with it and it took about 30 seconds to install. One of the best products I have upgraded in my Tundra.

    How it works: The biggest difference and improvements I have seen are the shift points and the proficiency at which the transmission shifts. Virtually no shifting lag and it shifts sooner

    What I have Found So Far
    Basically it's an aftermarket throttle controller. It has three different modes/settings (Automatic, Ulta and Economy) Automatic and economy are set it and forget it. Ultra mode you can adjust the level from 1-9. I have found 2 is closest to the factory settings. 3 is a little snappier then factory. I live in a small town and I am looking forward to trying out the Economy for when I am not towing. The Ultra setting for when I am towing our Camping/Travel Trailer, I found before the transmission would would just hover at 3K RPM's and it took a lot for it to up shift to Higher gear to drop the RPM's when I was on the highway.

    Check them out and let me know what you find while playing around with it! I will update as well.

    Someone was asking about these a while back, from Australia I believe and had a link to a video. It looked like a decent product. Many on here have installed the Pedal Commander which does these same things you describe with the EVC. Most enjoy the PC, making the Tundra more fun to drive.

    You may be the first to report installing one on here. Glad the results are good. I believe it was priced a little lower than the PC.

    Don't these things just spoof the TPS? What does that have to do with transmission shift speeds?

    I think I paid about $200 for the IDrive.

    Danimal86 not sure how it works, but it is shifting quicker/sooner and I am getting way better gas millage in the economy setting
