Sprintbooster question

I wanted to figure out if anyone knew the difference between the non AMG and the AMG version of the sprintbooster? I heard the AMG version is more tame, but is that necessary? I can't find any US phone numbers for tech help online for sprintbooster, so I thought I would ask u guys. Thanks!

I has bought 5 Sprint Booster in the past to used on my Clk 430, Clk 500 and CL 55. I swapped them around on each car and like the AMG version the most on all mine cars.The AMG is much better over all. I ONLY recommended the AMG version for AMG cars. I currently used the AMG version (because of less aggressive throttle response) on my Clk 500 Cabriolet and LOVE IT. If you need to order one.

I can't recommend because I don't know what you drive. Like I said in my post, I like the AMG version better and you DO NOT want to use the non-AMG version on AMG cars.

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.

Do they make one for the CL600? How difficult is the installation? Anyone with a CL600 have one installed?

I just installed the sprint booster on my CL600. Use the AMG part if your car is high performance. I did on my car. I can smoke the tires at will. Really goes well with the Renntech ECU upgrade. Very easy to install and worth the $$.
