Do sprint boosters basically save people's energy from slamming the throttle pedal? So i can burn my tires easier at every stop sign? The product sounds good, but pedal feeling is very important on c63s.

I wouldn't equate the Sprint Booster with the effort needed to push harder/faster on the pedal. That type of exaggerated motion typically will not translate to less throttle lag, as that is a function of the car's electronics. The Sprint Booster alters the signal in a way that corrects the lag while allowing you to maintain your existing driving style.

Save you your money and get a tune in my opinion. I had one and returned it. This worthless in my .02 cents. All it does is speed up throttle reaction. For the my c63 all it did was mess up my adaptations and throw a CELL I ended up returning it and losing $ 35 in the proccess.

Save your money this is the same as that
" super wax you get sold at auto shows"

Junk. I have had 2 amg cars and I can say that I tried it
Not worth the money!

Based on the Sprint Booster advertising, our marketing, and all other information, the only promise made is to speed up throttle response. If it does that, it's doing it's job.

We haven't seen other reports of adaptation errors, because the product has zero effect on programming whatsoever. Did you report the error to Sprint Booster directly?

Well, if you were dealing with us specifically (ThrottleBoost.com), I apologize for your disappointment.

As I mentioned, I've not heard reports of the product disturbing any of the car's programming. Many MBWorld members have the product installed and are reporting flawless results. I hope that explains my curious (and fast) responses. If there are issues that others can expect, we'd really like to know.

Thanks again, and sorry you didn't like the product.

Ken

It was your company and your employee. James. The product is 1.poorly made
2. I was told it was scratch/ damaged and there for had to be subject to a 35 dollar fee. When your company says AND GUYS READ CAREFULLY..No returns on group buys.!!!! HEADS UP!!!
3. I lost money and time on your gadget plus my car went to the shop due to adaptation issues.

4. I told him that maybe it was scratched from the dealer when it skipped quality control he said that was not possible. and that you have sold thousands of them and NEVER CAUSED AN ISSUE ALL WORKED PERFECT.

I ended up CC my layer not because of the money but due to the fact they basically told me to fly a kite after you got my money.

Then they came back with a BS partial refund.

I will NEVER SPEND A PENNY WITH YOU GUYS after the way I got treated.

My reputation on this board speaks for it's self.
This is not worth the money and the service from you guys was beyond bad. You treat you clients after you get the money like children and basically tell them to fly kite.


Buyers BEWARE!!!!!

FYI (to all else reading) - the return policy on Group Buys (as posted on our site) only applies to the 30 day satisfaction guarantee. Warranty returns and malfunctions are, of course, still welcome.

Subject to a fee like the one I paid. NO REFUNDS OR RETURNS ON GROUP BUYS. And don't forget it's allways been perfect they will and have never shipped a bad item nor has the sprintbooster sold by throttle boost has ever caused an issue according to them.


DONT BUY IT!!!

Thanks for the info Mikegpr03 and help making my decision. I searched on the c63 and didn't see anyone who is using it. It also messed up their tune if they had it. I Only found non AMG cars owners liked it the most.

The worst part is how they treat you after you buy it.
Last thing I wanted was to end up at the dealer right before the weekend not being able to use my car. My car was fine perfectly fine. I put that in and all I did was cause the tranny to kick and buck like it never did.

Like I said it's like buying cheap wax at in autoshow in my .02.

FWIW, if you have a legit tune where throttle ramp in rates are changed you don't need a sprintbooster. This mod ranks right up there with a turbonator.
