Unbelievably Incredible! Let ALL the non believers know. For the $1000's I've invested this single unit has the biggest instantaneous improvement to the Z's performance. I'm officially impressed and want to recommend this to the Z lover's everywhere. Any smack-talking to the contrary to this it's just that smack talk. Put out the money put it where your mouth is May down to three hundred bucks hook this thing up and if I'm full of it you can send it back and get your money back but if not you can thank me and the guy who invented this thing for letting you know. There are a bunch of other types of these things on the internet as well this isn't the only one but it is easy to hook up and use and the results are amazing

Nice to have arrived. Had the Z only a little over a year. Incredible journey from then til now. Quite a car. This was the cherry on the Sundae for sure. Untaps all available horepower. It has not added any, just lets me get to the ones I've got, quicker. So thanks again for the unique welcome. I accept.

Just wanted you to know you might expand mind to considering this. Imo... it's an easy adjustment for the pedal. No problem at takeoff no problem shifting nothing. But when you want to put your foot in it it's there for you instantly. I don't feel at a loss because I'm missing the last little bit of travel in that pedal one bit. It's funny when you switch it back to stock mode. I used to think it was so fast then. The response now is immediate. For me personally it's all about the Driving Experience. If I can advance that through horsepower, other mods and now this, I'm all for it. I would say most of everything I've done to my car has been gleaned off information on this forum. Trying to take care and improve on all the areas of the car that need it. All I'm trying to do is contribute to this group of members to let them know if this is a money-back chance at improving the performance of their car. That's all. I'm not selling this product. I may buy another for another vehicle at some point. But I am a believer and I want you all to enjoy your car as much as I enjoy mine. I'm out

Dude, everything you experienced with this part is available through your tuner. You didn't have to buy another part, all you needed to do was tell your tuner to use the throttle map posted here. Of course you notice a difference. That was never in question. You just didn't have to pay more for it.

And if your tuner didn't take the time to adjust the throttle, what else did he not do? Did he adjust the fan tables, or is that a "special request only" item like the throttle?

The coolest features about sprintbooster are the relatively inexpensive cost (compared to full tune), the ease of installation, and the ability to switch between three different modes on demand. It is fantastic for people who don't want to tune for various understandable reasons. There's really only one downside, which I've pointed out way too many times already. It's not a bad mod at all - I understand exactly what it does.

My only point ever in this particular conversation with you was that you paid a lot of money (I assume) for a tune and improved throttle response to your satisfaction should have been part of that. I had my car tuned when it was essentially stock, and the throttle response was phenomenal - exactly like what you are experiencing with Sprintbooster.

Will I get back in touch with my tuner. I guess you need to go in there with a set list of what you're looking for for improvements on your tune. This guy spend an extra 2 hours trying to calibrate my 700 CFM throttle bodies on my car and he couldn't do it so I ended up having to send them back because the car could never reach Idol. He said he could do it but it cost me. He said he'd never do another throttle body conversion like that again. I'm probably going to switch to ECUtek anyway.

But I am going to contact him and another tuner shortly to see if I can get the same response from the pedal and I will send that thing back. I thought I had maxed out with what the Uprev could do. But if you guys are telling me I can get the same thing in a tune that's awesome but if its going to cost me 2 hours to tune it or whatever and I might as well just stick with this. Either way I like it a lot. But it would be nice to have it built into the software as opposed to an add-on

Most reputable tuners don't require additional hours to fully tune the car, it's part of the package. Between that and being unable to handle scaling for larger throttle bodies, you need to find a new tuner.

It seems the most praise is from Manual Transmission owners. I'd like to hear from some AT people. ??

I see no need for a sprint booster. Throttle lag due to heat soak can be helped with an oil cooler.

^^^ There's throttle lag even without heat soak and the SB cures all of that. Well worth the money and noticeable change out the box which is more than i can say for some of the others mods that get purchased for these cars.

You bumped a 6 month dead thread to throw out a keyboard warrior insult? Well played

And this forum is doing just fine, IMNSHO ... all the questions have already been asked and answered, so there's no need for a lot of activity. The build threads are fairly active - there's some good stuff going on
