New Adjustable Sprint Booster!

Has anyone tried the new adjustable sprint booster? It sucks that I purchased the original one then removed it since going to the dealer and figured its better without it. BUT I think adjustable is good because you can activate it when you want it especially to pass someone on the highway or extra pep at times.

funny but say you don't want to use it at times and other times you want to use it? Your feet can't do that.

As I understand it, your feet can do that. All the Sprint Booster does is change where in the pedal travel the throttle response occurs. Engine output does not change. For example, by the time you reach 100% throttle angle, the results are the same. So, if you just press the pedal a bit further, your foot becomes its own Booster!!

I bought the adjustable sb and I love it ....it raises the rpms a lot faster then just flooring the pedal I think it's worth buying but that's my opinion.

I think it is more for automatics, where it tends to increase rpm shift points, and encourages downshifts, all w/o needing heavy load conditions.

u like, u keep.

That is likely true for manuals, but not for up and down shift quality for automatics. My "free sprint booster" thread (modified TCU reset) is a less agressive booster for free.
