Default Re: Sprint Booster - A "Must-have"!

Okay... My turn as I just got done installing my Sprint Booster and taking the car for a spin.

Mine is the 451A in my SRT6, which has about 100 more horsepower than the limited or base model.

First... the part of PAULW's install guide where he says to retrieve the washer with a magnetic pick-up... DO THIS or you will have to PRY up the accelerator pedal assembly until it forces the washer off.

Second, the part where he says 'remove the pedal assembly'... you will have to rotate and pull on the pedal assembly to get the 'X' shaped peg at the top to release from the hole in the metal bracket above the pedal assembly. I was really starting to pull my hair out when I figured this out.

Third, you can't pull down the assembly too far if you have an automatic as the kickdown switch wires are a little shorter than the throttle harness.

So... Keep these tips in mind when you install it.

Review:

There is a VERY noticeable difference in the 'before' and 'after'.

Before: sluggish, delayed throttle response when the pedal is mashed... as if it's making up it's mind what to do.

After: fairly linear response if not a reversed gradual slope on the curve. It's as if it's ramping up more quickly.

Overall control: You can still 'feather' the pedal quite well and I have no worries about driving in Snow or Rain with this.

Once you start to depress your foot in a steady fashion, the acceleration happens in a curve going slightly faster than your foot is pushing down.

I'm very happy with this purchase and it is one of my 'Must Have!' performance recommendations to all Crossfire owners and any C32 or other 'adaptive throttle' drivers.

Cheers!
