Sprint Booster + tune?
Would a Sprint Booster have any noticeable effect if you already have a tune?

Anyone have insight on this? I would also like to know if a Sprint Booster or comparable product would have impact on a tuned car.

I ran a Sprint Booster on my Evo X before I got my C63, and I couldnt really notice much of a difference at all. My Evo was Cobb tuned. The Sprint Booster seemed like a total waste.

Don't waste your money since you already have a tune buddy, you MAY feel a difference but all it's doing is sending a throttle position signal that is higher then where your foot is currently at. It's like doing a lighter weight trigger pull on a pistol. Just mash the throttle a bit more and you'll get the same results haha

I was thinking about doing the ASP/Eurocharged day. Might squeeze out another 15-30hp.

I am thinking abt that one too. frankly, i am a bit confused between OE, velos and eurocharged. and i thought the gains were much more than 15-30 hp!

Haha. Yes, you did.

Hm. I guess I may need to reconsider getting the SprintBooster since I already have a tune; if they don't seem to make a difference.

I thought it would give an even more immediate response if combined. Can anyone else contribute their experience with using both??
