Speedtuning chip or sprint booster?
What's up everyone , was very curious and optimistic about these chips. Are they worth it? do you recommend it? If so which one?

Ideally you need both....an ECU tune or chip (Superchips etc) and a Sprintbooster....a Sprintbooster adds no power ....just makes the throttle feel more responsive by adjusting the signal between pedal and ecu and throttle body....this is from their own ad.
"Sprint Booster simply modifies the throttle signal between the accelerator pedal and the throttle body. Big deal right? Keep in mind, this is the same concept as the 'throttle pulley' modification on cable based throttle systems - which was very popular in it's time. It doesn't add horsepower, but makes the throttle more sensitive and makes the car 'feel' faster."

if you want to tune your car go to a trusted tuner- FWIW, I had sprintbooster on my CLS 500 and it was a huge difference...people will bash on it all day, but it did what I wanted it to do.

Very well said- and it definitely does what it says it will do. Can't ask for much more, it's just important that people understand what they're buying. It's not throttle response, it's pedal response. There is a huge difference.
