We have to distinguish “throttle response” vs “throttle control”. In this case, sprint booster magnifies throttle input, whereas a tune allows for more precise throttle control.

If one desires to be able to manage extremely minute throttle change AND need immediacy, tune is the way. If one merely wants the feeling and perception of more urgent throttle, Sprint Booster will do just fine.

Agree, Sprint Booster gives quicker FULL throttle but less control.



Anyway, I wouldn't tune a stock car.
