C55 SPRINT BOOSTER
#28
LET tunes are dyno created not a standard tune like the others bring as I heard. Go with the AMG version if you own an AMG car but for non AMG cars the non AMG version is better...the pedal is very sensitive with the AMG version so imagine putting a non AMG version on an AMG can we say definitly no winter driving...

I got my non-AMG Sprintbooster after my LET tune and I still love it. I can just about spin the tires at will even with heavy 19" wheels and 265's.

I'll be curious to hear how the non-AMG version works for you. It appears nobody took the time to explain to you what a Sprintbooster does. It's a very simple concept and device. With our cars being a "drive-by-wire" setup, it simply increases the signal from the gas pedal by approximately 25%. Therefore, by default, it makes the car "feel" more aggressive with less throttle. There is absolutely NO performance gain from it whatsoever, however I'll admit it makes the car much more fun to drive, per not having to mash the pedal as far down for an aggressive response. You'll be kinda' tricking your mind into thinking you have more, with less...
Now, having said that; if you are going to use a non-AMG version of the Sprintbooster --- you'll simply be getting one that increases the signal percentage a bit more than the AMG version. The downside to this is in situations where you actually need to feather the throttle a little bit, ie in the rain, snow, etc. The car will likely be "jumpy" per the additional throttle signal being given with less of a press on the pedal. It won't be unmanageable, but it will definitely take away your ability to ease into the throttle w/o effort.

I am aware that this product doesn't add any power,
I was just tried of the old man feel the car has.
I am not worried about driving the car in the rain or snow as I don't drive it daily.

From what i have seen on this site most Mb drivers here are into soft a smooth ride. As for me Performace and feedback is a first.
I rate this As a must have to get rid of that old man feel the car has.
Best mod to date

Glad you like it and thanks for updating us! It's something I will consider doing in the future but there's just a few other things I want to get for this car first!
