Congrats on a fine mod. It's true it doesn't have quite the umph that it has on the supercharged motor, but it still makes a big difference. Did you get the regular automatic version or the new AMG version? Regular one ends in "A" and the AMG is "A2". The AMG version is actually a milder, less agressive, version. Both of mine are the regular version.

Well thats what I did but it was some what hush hush behind the dealers back... the women that helps me told me about a "little performance club" of theirs. I had it done there but payed in cash.

I am selling my Sprint Booster for $200 shipped, or I'm willing to trade it for the AMG model SB.

PM me interested.

Just installed the non AMG version this morning. What a big difference in throttle response - similar to my shifter kart. Really need to be awake driving it now. Those that don't want it so edgy, get the AMG version.

Paid $325 from sprintboostersales.com. Fast shipping - got it in 5 days.

I am swapping it out for the AMG version. The non-AMG version is just too sensitive for a car with this amount of power and torque. Kind of like listening to music with the volume turned to "11" all the time - every now and then level 5 is enough. Still a great product and worth the money - the AMG version should be just right.
