sprint booster removes the delay from your acceleration.

instead of stepping on the pedal and having a slight delay for acceleration, you get instantanteous power to the wheels thus appearing to have more power when you don't.
It takes away from luxury and turns it into a sportier feel.
It does not add any power whatsoever.

Introduction

Automobiles in the 21st century have replaced the more conventional throttle cable technology for an ECM (Electronic Control Module) that translates pedal travel into electronic signals in order to provide power to the wheels.

The ECT system (Electronic Throttle Control) – also known as drive-by-wire – has the unfortunate downside of delayed throttle response and subdued acceleration, creating problems in certain circumstances such as up-hill starts, quick gearchanges, overtaking, etc.
The Sprint Booster aims to overcome this throttle response delay for ECT-equipped vehicles, providing crisp on-tap acceleration at the driver's disposal.

Feature

The Sprint Booster might very well be the "smartest" gadget on your car. It is a device that improves acceleration by continuously measuring and converting the digital signal provided by the ECT's potentiometer, and providing the ECM with a new and altered signal.

its worth it if you are persueing the instant torque....i rode in a CLK that had it, and i definately will get one in the near future....
