It just remaps your throttle input to make it seem like your car has more pep. Say you give your car 10% throttle at the pedal, that little doo-dad will actually open it 15%. Your car will feel faster (and use more gas) but it won't actually be any faster.

I am really against installing any mods classified as a "doo-dad" on my car.

Man I really wish OP hadn't deleted all of the posts referenced in this. Too bad.

I did buy some snake oil and put it in the tank the other day though. Throttle response is out of control now. You guys don't even know.

At SEMA one of their reps said he would give me one for $100 if I did a write up on this forum about SprintBooster. When I emailed or called he never replied or returned calls. Prob knew I would say its a waste of $$$$.
