I like the acceleration but it's too aggressive for my daily driving.![rice](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/rice.gif)

My SB has adapted a bit and I am glad it has. It is smooth enough now for city driving but when I want to get after it the SB really kicks in. I think I have also gotten more familiar with the SB so it makes it easier to manage. When I first got it city driving was a bit though....

heh. weird. my car has not adapted. every day i leave the parking lot at work there is one set of sharp turns at the end of the lot and i always manage to give it just a little too much gas and it zooms so quick it looks like i'm a 15 year old learning to drive.
so, no, my car hasn't adapted, it's still fast as ***** after sprintbooster!
who needs an amg anyway... lol

What exactly is in the guts of a sprint booster? A resistor or a resistor type circuit? Too bad it doesn't have a dial on it so you can dial the level of boost and adjust it for the person driving it or the traffic conditions.
I share my car with my wife and I would love to install this in my C280. However, my wife has a history of rear-ending people and this wouldn't be such a good idea for her.
Too bad, because this seems like it would solve the only complaint I have with the car...the lack of immediate throttle response. Doesn't it seem like there is a 1 second delay b/w "punching" the throttle and getting any response? Would the spring booster eliminate this?

Hmm..how bout Sprint Booster to control auto tranny?
I wonder if this is possible. Since the sprint booster does such a great job with throttle lag, I am wondering if they will make one to control the automatic transmision. It could possibly change our shift points and over ride the adaptive part of the tranny? Wouldnt this be great. It would be nice to know your car is working at its full potential and not that you wish you could have pulled over after a 100mile trip, to reset the ecu, and then realize the tranny adapted to the granny in you. I hate having to think if the tranny already adapted rather than just punching it. I hope somebody will invent something soon! If not my next car will be a BMW! I am actually one step closer to a BMW since my brother has the 325xi and when ever I drive it the power is always at your foot. Until then every gas station stop I will be doing the ecu reset.
So if anyone has connections with Boulekos Dynamic, tell him to work on the other products link on there website. Hint hint tranny.

OH NO! The Sprint Booster is a fake it really doesn't do anything, and who ever would buy it is an idiot. Thats why all these people are buying it. We are all idiots. Whats been fun is the temperture has been perfect and its been raining. So the boost has been more then usuall because of air density. Put that with Kleeman kit plus Sprint Booster. The down side is the wet roads.

Sprint Booster (where did you buy it?)
I went to the sprint booster website: http://www.sprintbooster.gr/en/ and then I emailed the people on their dealer network about purchasing it and having it shipped to USA. The guy from Hong Kong agreed to send it to me, but I am wondering if anyone else has gone this route? I mean, I don't want to send the guy the money and not get my product...
any suggestions?
