Default Re: New Throttle Boost Sprint Booster

A little information on what the Sprint Booster will do for some of our newer members.

"What can a Sprint Booster do for me? Most 2000-up model cars no longer use the conventional throttle cable and have replaced it with an ECM (Electronic Control Module) designed to translate how hard the pedal is pushed into an electronic instruction to provide power to the wheels.
The ETC (Electronic Throttle Control), otherwise known as "Drive-By-Wire", causes a delayed response and subdues acceleration, creating problems in situations such as quick gear changes, pulling into traffic, passing other vehicles and up-hill starts.
The Sprint Booster Power Converter eliminates this delayed throttle response and provides immediate on-tap acceleration whenever the driver demands it! Most cars have a 1 second lag between when the pedal is pushed and the car actually responds. The Sprint Booster corrects this problem instantly giving you all your vehicles power with no hesitation. Give your vehicle a Throttle Boost!" HOWEVER, EVEN THOUGH IT FEELS FASTER, THE SPRINT BOOSTER DOES NOT INCREASE POWER! It DOES feel faster because the response is quicker"


"SPRINT BOOSTER MADE THE DRIVER INPUT TO THE THROTTLE APPROXIMATELY HALF A SECOND TO 1 SECOND QUICKER, ESSENTIALLY MAKING THE INSTANT ACCELERATION FEEL LIKE A LIGHTNING QUICK CABLE TO THROTTLE BODY SYSTEM..."

The Sprint Booster has been around for quite some time. Many members on the forum have purchased them. This new "selectable" model with indicator lights allows you to run without the benefit or the Sprint Booster in "factory" mode, a small boost in "Sport" mode and full boost in "Race" (track) mode.

I had hesitated to purchase this add-on because I didn't want it "always on", the selectable version gives you the ability to choose at the touch of a button.
