if you have been an auto tech for 29 years i would think you would know what to think about it lol.

i personally think it is a waste of $300, a waste of $100, a waste of $50 and a waste at any price but that is just me.

If you will read just a few of the replies about the Sprint Booster (just do a shearch on sprint booster) you will find 99 out of 100 love it and will say it is the best mod they have done. Keep this in mind "it CORRECTS THROTTLE LAG ONLY, IT DOES NOT INCREASE HP!" and it works. Another thing it does not just move the TPS to an early WOT, WOT has nothing to do with it. Buy one, you will like it.

Maybe your seeing different numbers than i do when you are scoping and charting what its doing
It doesnt change what you call throttle lag at all... Thats the amount of time it takes for the pedal ,ecm, and throttle actuator to respond to eachother. it does change pedal travel thats all
Something tells me i might should not have posted what i found. But its what i found... I did post a better explanation of what i found in the best 300 mod. And i did alittle more than just read
So i will bow out
Thanks
Mike and Kathy

That would be your opinion, I guess it doesn't change what you call throttle lag. I know exactly what I call throttle lag and not only I but the vast majority of SB owners agree it does a great job of correcting it.
As far as pedal travel I disagree there also, after almost three years of driving with a SB I have NEVER been at WOT at 1/2 or 3/4 throttle and as a matter of fact I was past 3/4 throttle and still throttling up when I reached the limiter at 158 MPH. Sorry with or without an SB 1/2 throttle does not equal WOT in my car.

No matter what it does or does not do everyone is welcome to their opinion but it does not change the fact that an overwhelming majority of us are very happy we have one.

Its a opinion with some factual data , but its a opinion...did you scope it ? I took offence to your statment that i should read alittle, When in all fact i did alittle more than just read.... but i can agree to disagree
Maybe my post in the best 300 mod will explain what i found alittle better

I did not intend to offend you by asking you to read but you had not told us you had tried one as a matter of fact you had just stated " but to some of us ..its new" so believing that was true I thought you might wish to read about the device you ask about. I feel kinda like I was ambushed.

Oh well, I like it and you don't, its all good!

This statement is a bit ambiguous isn't it, doesn't change it, but does a great job of correcting it? That statement is not going to sell any SB's


Simply changing the strength of the accelerator pedal spring to a weaker one makes any car seem livelier. With a strong spring you would think you were driving a tank, you would save gas though.

With $300 in my hand I would put it toward a CAI, the SB may make the car seem livelier but so does a throttle reset and that costs nothing.

If the SB could not be returned after opening the package, it would make people really feel a performance improvement, human nature being what it is. This leads me to ask if they can they be returned after trying one out?

I cannot be convinced, but its your money and if you are happy, great.

Sorry paul , I dont understand what you mean by ambushed, and can assure you that was not my intent. Maybe because i had replyed in two different places on here it got lost in the mix and i just did the tests to confirm what i had read and replyed this morning to a question that was ask of me so i said what i had found. Im sure that there are alot of things that can be said without any factual data to back it up, Im not one! I did the homework before i said anything in a opposing view point to the sb.
Thanks

You could always buy one of the performance chips on Ebay.
They claim to all sorts of great stuff for your car!
AND they are cheaper!
