*NEW* Sprint Booster

I visited the sprint booster website to find that there was a new version with an adjustable feature. You have a Stock, Sport, and Race setting. Wanted to see if anyone has installed this yet. I have the regular one and am thinking of upgrading if there are any differences. Any feedback is appreciated

I installed it for a friend with C55 Kleemann SC. The benefits is you got 3 versions (stock, AMG and non-AMG) in 1. After installed and test drives, It not worth the extra money. The only true benefit with the new versions in my opinions, that you can go back to stock instant just by pushing a button. It good for valet parking, wife...etc. As for the RACE setting, it a joke to me, WAYSSSSS to aggressive throttle response. So in reality, if you got an AMG car, forget about ever using RACE setting.

personally, i dont think it was worth it. i saw a graph between stock and the sprint booster. according to the graphs all it looked like you'd reach full throttle faster with sprint booster.

but as for the new sprint booster. it does seem cool to have tho. and good use as klinh said, stock for when you have your car valeted or have your wife/gf drive.

btw, do you mash that much wes?lol

I also like the idea that you could switch it on and off by the push of a button. I don't have an AMG or a big engine so I don't think it would be as aggressive for me. So would you say the normal sprint booster is equal to the sport (2nd) setting?

When you installed it, where did you locate the button?

I really don't go crazy like that, but it would be nice to have the option of switching it on and off. I have the old and love it, I don't even remember what it feels like without it...lol
