i will make a bottlecapbooster for the srt6 and sell it for only $150 which is 1/2 the price of the sprintbooster with 100% of the performance gains that the sprintbooster offers!

there you have it folks, now that is a deal!

the bottlecapbooster is 100% guaranteed to provide you with the same performance gains as the sprintbooster for 50% of the cost!

Emptied bottle, he just used the cap.
So he's still using what in the bottle.

Up until now, i believed the capacitors for the speakers was the best mod for the money. This may be even better, Now I just have to save up for a bootle of Coke.

Lightbulb Re: sprint booster/ bottle cap does it work?

Seriously. I think this might actually work. Basically you just shorten the range for the signal to get to 100%. And I think the SB does the exact same thing - maybe the signal isn't altered linear and more agressive but this might come close.

The only thing I would do different: I would remove the bottle cap (or whatever else you use to shorten the pedal range) after recalibrating the throttle sensor/tcu. Then you still have to press the pedal all the way down to get to the kickdown switch but you have the full throttle signal about 1" earlier.

Or am I missing something here?

I agree. But there would probably be a dead spot between the space left behind from the missing bottle cap. Dead as in no additional throttle not dead as in NO throttle.

Custom Walmart soda Booster, wonder if this actually works. Has anybody tried this to see if it actually works?
