Wow, didn't know you can get an adjustable one. Wouldn't mind owning it.

They do improve response throttle time. I have had mine for 4+ years and have no regrets for the purchase. There used to be a differant one for automatics and sticks however there may no longer be. Mine is not adjustable.

This is the exact one that I purchased. It's great, especially in the red/race mode.
One of the members sells something similar.

I have the same one, love it.

The red 'race' mode is a little much, IMHO. With a manual and some decent mods, I prefer the green setting in the middle. No extra horsepower, but makes a HUGE difference in driving.

I highly recommend still doing a weekly (or daily) throttle reset, as I believe it helps every time I do it.

Your links do not lead you to 2 differing products.

I saw 3 available for the XF and all three were $329...

One says it is the "SPRINTBOOSTER 2" the other says simply "SPRINTBOOSTER"...wasn't sure if one was an upgrade perhaps??

BTW, BoilerUpXFire I really like the former black beauty you had...very sorry she was so mangled after the accident...

Yes, but I was curious if these were 2 different products: I.E. one was an upgrade to the adjustable or not?

They are both selectable. The first sprint booster was non-selectable therefore, there, making the selectable #2 So go with the $299.00. I received mine through SRT SIX which I recall was less expensive. What I like is there are 3 settings, off, green for spirited driving or red for race. I keep it in the green and only use red when I'm at the Texas Motor Speedway.

Yes, I was not looking closely enough, sorry about that

Thanks for the kind words, although with some new goodies, I am liking my graphite much better (and easier to keep clean)

And PS - you will LOVE the sprint booster, it really wakes the car up, jsut make sure to do throttle resets from time to time...

Ah awesome...well here's a quick question to pick your brain:

Would you even worry about a Sprint Booster if you got a Eurocharged Remote Tune?

in short answer... Abso-freaking-lutely

Some say that the EC tune gives quicker throttle response, and to a degree, I guess it does, but the SB is different. The SB is increasing the voltage to the electronic throttle, in essence, making it feel as if you pushed down the pedal father, but it also happens much more quickly, which is most important. Just the other day I turned mine off, and the car literally felt horrible, compared to what I am used to. I run on the middle (green) setting and it is perfect for me. I have had both the EC tune and SB for more than a year and highly recommend both, but IMHO the EC tune is more for power than quicker throttle response.

Good deal, that's all I needed to hear. I've got both in my very near future.

Just do me a favor...

Once you get the tune, drive it a little while, then install the SB and drive for several days. Then turn off the SB and see what you think

Will do! I keep coming up with questions:

Should I preform a throttle reset after the tune/before the SB is installed? or after BOTH?
