Full proof that this product showed gains. And the video clips too.
All I have is a K&N Filter:

It's always good to get a little power:

Plus, it's bored from an OEM, so completely sleeper! I'm curious how it would feel for people who already have the Sprint Booster.

Yeah, you can definitely feel it (especially on the high end for passing and/or merging onto freeways). yeuchau, you've got pm.
Just my 2 cents, but if people have been paying a good amount of money for the sprint booster, which doesn't have ANY power benefits, I say this is worth it more-so than the sprint booster?
Now, the two in conjunction with one another...that'd be interesting too.

You can definitely feel it, B! It's definitely worth it (you should get it too). My main thing is, if people were paying a good amount of money for that Sprint Booster, well, the BTB may not have the exact same feel, but considering that it adds hp and torque and the lag is definitely less?...I go with the BTB over the Sprint Booster (considering the Sprint Booster doesn't have any gains).

I think this is a WAAAAAAAAAY better investment and mod than Sprint Booster.and with our engines, any little bit helps.

But please don't bash the sprint booster if you haven't tried it!

ct, you know me better than that. What I was trying to say was that if people are willing to shell out money for the Sprint Booster (that despite it's ability to open up the throttle early), it doesn't produce power, so there should be no hesitancy to buy the bored throttle body.

Right but there is a big difference between the SB and a BTB. the SB produces results you can really feel but the BTB .... well i doubt my butt's gonna feel 3 or 5 hp. The SB brings your engine to life even if it doesn't add power, it makes all the power available instantly, not some of the power available a little at a time until the computer thinks you really deserve all the power. does that make sense?

The pricing is right in the range of the sprint booster, except there is abosolutely no way to tell that it is a modification due to the stock TB being used. So yeah, definitely worth the money.
