For the most part, what Sprint Booster does is something you could do with your own foot. It's just changing the response curve mapping between pedal position and engine input. Their newer model (I forget what they renamed it to) may have more subtlety in the mapping, but the original Sprint Booster's graphs looks like it just jumped the throttle up faster when you first get into the pedal (with the tradeoff of flatter response later in the pedal, because ultimately they can't change the total range available). If you like how it feels when driving though, there's nothing wrong with that.

With UpRev you can control the curve similarly and make up your own mapping. You can see some work I did on that here: Smooth Throttle for UpRev. My goals are different than Sprint Booster's though. Mostly I'm just trying to get the low-RPM WOT to work while keeping the whole pedal range smooth and usable for finesse.

I am reading a lot of these post about hp and tq numbers. Everyone has their own ideas about what is going to make power. For the cams I must say that you can't just buy the cams and swap them in. They are actually to aggressive for the stock valve train. So if you plan on swapping the cams be prepared to spend some coin on pulling the heads off and swapping the valve train. It's even more expensive for our cars cause the intake girdle has to come off in order to reach the complete head, both dc accucators, all three timing chains and timing gears. This swap is taking awhile for me and as other perform this swap more efficient ways will be performed on the motors. So if you think u can just swap these cams in you better rethink your plan.

I just ordered the urethane motor mounts for the engine from z1 motorsports and they will be here before the heads get back to me so they can be installed. This should help with the flexing of the motor when the throttle is quickly depressed

I am tired of people just spending huge loads of cash on the exterior. The car looks badass already. I am showing that turbo or supercharger is not the only way to go. Plus u don't have to spend 6000.00 plus on any of that to make power out of these cars.

When you're done with this. And have the car running smoothly (and hard). I hope you'll take the time to do a write up of the parts & labour cost and the order of the modifications, I'm really keen on seeing the results (as I'm sure everyone else is also, or should be at least heh

Yay, I finally found someone else going NA. Once I get back to the states, I'll be putting the GTM stage 4 in my heads with the JUN cams. I guess GTM will be doing my heads but I have to take them off first. I just ordered my Wiseco pistons a week ago or so from Z1. I'm going with a 10.5:1 ratio, cause I'm going to ceramic cost the pistons when I install them, also I highly recommend getting Total Seal piston rings from Total Seal in Arizona. Does anyone make a completely finished manifold for the 370 yet, for air turbulence, yet? I wish EFI made a standalone for the 370, it did wonders for my Hypersport Elise.

The heads are currently being worked by the GTM they started working on the heads. I hope they are done soon cause the car being down really sucks right now. I know once I get them back it will be sweet. I also just bought the HD flex plate for the transmission. I have read some people changing the pistons and rods and actually working the bottom end. I want to keep the bottom end stock right now I have only 8500 miles on the car and the block is pretty stout. GTM even told me that the heads on our motors is where the power is and unleashing that power might not make power close to a turbo or supercharger kit but the reliability is still there and hearing that engine scream is music to my ears. Plus, I still smash on FORDS all day.
