I'm not an ASE certified technician but I'm not some uninformed dufus spouting crap, I completely understand how the Sprint booster works and what it does.
I agree that if I installed a Sprint Booster the interface between pedal and throttle blade would be different, more responsive.
I know what throttle response is and what it should be, how a car should feel. I also know what a hesitation or lag is in a Crossfire or other car. It's an annoying drivability issue that people take cars into a dealerships or independent shops to get fixed quite often.
My car does not have any built in hesitation or lag. It does not have any hesitation or lag attributable to wear and tear conditions or non maintenance or the like.
My has just over 40,000 miles on, and is a well maintained Spring-Summer-Fall only car. It has summer (3 season tires) It will be in the garage in just a few weeks.
Why did you do injectors on the car?, it must have pretty high mileage to actually need new injectors. I'm sure the results were good if you did injectors, intake (which I'm assuming is a CAI to replace the engine top box) and tune done all at the same time.
You also have no evidence proving which of the components or the tune, cured any legitimate drivability issue that may have been present on the car initially.
We can assume it was the Sprint Booster.
The throttle response experienced in Crossfire has nothing to do with maintenance or mileage. If you can't feel the "lag" is there a chance you might have a spring booster installed without knowing about it? The old one was not adjustable, meaning when it was installed you would not know it's there unless you go looking for it.
Aside from that this bickering back and forth is getting old. Comparing a 2005 stock to an SRT-6 in a drag race is simply silly and doesn't lead to anything. What are we 14 years old??
This is a car forum and not meant for silliness! If you don't have a throttle lag you either have a SB installed or you don't know what the lag really feels like - no other explanation as that and highly simple. Even if someone knew no technicalities about the spring booster and what it does to the car, it would be a noticeable difference to said person when trying a car with and without SB! My 2 cents! Take it or leave...
