Default A quick sprint booster question

Hi all, I follow most posts about the sprint boosters (old and recently upgraded versions) Id like to get one next year as I hear its a great bang for buck mod.

Im just wondering though, does it make the car lurch forward everytime from a dead stop causing your neck to snap back? I mean even my sentra or caliber will snap your neck back if you stomp on it. Sometimes I just like to "roll off" from a dead stop without all the inertia, can you still do this with a s/b?

I dont care much about it once the car is in motion, then it would be welcome, its just I hate the whole whiplash thing

I have had my selectable unit for a little over a week now. Ordered it from SRT SIX. The throttle snap is all related to how you use the Booster. If it is in race mode (Red Light) the throttle is much more responsive and is quicker to feeling as if it is wipe open. The first few times I accelerated while in race mode I would feel a bit of a snap due to substantial difference in throttle response. Now while I am in race mode I know how the throttle will react and my I can react accordingly.

Green Mode which is less responsive than race mode will elicit a similar reaction when you are learning its response curve. The green mode is great in my opinion for around town driving. It allows a quicker throttle response and better feeling car. Now the Sprint Booster claims to not improve performance. As Gary has said in previous post about the Sprint Booster, it really does feel like a different car especially while in race mode.

Best of luck and the Booster is worth the price in my opinion.

Jason

Based upon all of the convincing testimonials, I've finally made the purchase of a new Sprint Booster and look forward to delivery.

It is awful, however, that the asking price of these relatively simple gadgets is so high. Congratulations to the makers, whoever you are, on such successful marketing and sales tactics.

I agree on both counts Doc. I have the original model on both my cars and you quickly adjust to how much foot pressure it takes for a smooth start.
