Have read all the positives aboout the sprint booster and would like to hear from any of you that may have had second thoughts about them and why. Thanks

 

other than the dumb name?

 

I was really hoping for a reception booster for my cell phone..... oops wrong Sprint.
Anyhow, i dont know much about the sprint booster, but as a technician I deal with throttle by wire often. All the SB does is modify current from the throttle switch to the throttle motor.....think ebay " ECU chips". I cant justify spend $200 on a SB.

 

you may not justify it, but it works...so maybe someone who is a technician can build it cheaper, that would satisfy the price problem....I didn't like spending that much, but after feeling the difference, it was worth it to me...if it is an everyday driver, you don't have a problem with its performance, don't buy one...but if you do, it works...

 

Ok technician please tell us how to fix the throttle lag without having to use a sprint booster.

 

I havnt driven a car with a sprint booster so I dont know how much of a difference it makes. If I could make them I would and sell them to everyone on here for cheap but Im not an electrical engineer. lol. So if anyone local has a sprint booster and wouldnt mind letting me drive their car, I may be able to justify the $$$.

 

My only complaint about the booster, is well, well, thats a hard one. lol

I get a little less gas mileage, because well, I drive it, and i have to be more careful in the snow as it spins much easier

 

I have no experiene with these things, but have been very skeptical about the way they work. Is there a difference between say 3/4 throttle and WOT? I'm starting to consider buying one, but if it really does just change the position of WOT like I've heard it does I dont want it.

 

Please come by and check out mine.
I live only one town away.
You will see the difference right away I assure you.

 

The Price....

$300 for a couple transistors and a couple of plugs? No thanks, It's cheaper to do the trottle reset once a week. That and it makes the car harder to launch, which is a big negative at the track.

 

My sprint booster has cost me about $2000 so far. But it not only made the throttle response better, it made the car much faster. Ooooops... I dont have a sprint booter! But I do need some drag radials!

Have fun with whatever floats your boat!

It has nothing to do with WOT and resetting the throttle isn't even close.

 

like I said, big cost for getting rid of throttle lag, which some people wouldn't even notice, but if you want the best performance, you will like the difference it makes...and yes, you can make up for throttle lag while at the track with a little brake torgue, but I like it all the time without having to do that...besides, I would just spend the money on the Harley...the car should get its share from time to time...

 

Throttle resets do not compare to Sprint Boosters so don't even go there.
With all the Crossfires out there that have a Sprint Booster I'm sure you can find one that another member has and see for yourself.

 

GEEZ, Here we go again !!! For all you skeptics out there, ask someone who has a Sprint Booster installed, POLITELY mind you, to take their car around the block.

Granted the price is way too steep, but preference is preference !!!

I just said a throttle reset was cheaper, not just a good. Don't get it twisted... I'm well aware of what it does and I would buy one if it cost about $200 less. When you have a $35,000 yearly income, and drive a $50,000 car, funds are a bit too limited for me to spend on something that doesn't actually make the car faster or prettier The feeling might be worth the money, but my brain won't let me spend $300 on $20 worth of diodes you can probably get at Radio shack. Just my humble opinion. I may buy one used in the future if I find one cheap enough.

 

I agree with you Never ! The price is WAY TOO extreme ! I also see that you pilot an SRT ! SWEEEET ! For all us naturally aspirated jocks, a lil extra or should I say a lil less delay in throttle response is a good thing. IMHO the 275 bucks I spent on an SB was worth the money in nothing less than smile definition !

And thats Just my Dos Centavos

 

Sorry.. you are correct but I mistook the meaning.
By the way welcome back and good to see ya back on the forum.

 

Let's see --

$290 for this



--OR-- $325 for this

 

HAhahahahahahahahahaha!

Why not both?
Make the significant other pay for it. Or, they can take the bus.
