Re: speed booster a must read
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.

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

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.

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.

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
