I would rather install magnets around the fuel line to save gas.

There are people who fall for marketing easily. Wow.

On this car I don't think this product will work at all.

I can tell you on my dart this type of poduct is magic. I have a MM not sprinter but it is night and day. I have a remote and I can change it on the fly. the car sucks without it.

I have a BD diesel Throttle sensitiviy booster on on my ram but it feels different than the dart. it is stil a good mod an that vehicle but not as drastic as the dart.

My ram has encrypted ECM as well as the dart was when I bought it.


The Zl1 is not in the same boat. I have traction problems not throttle lag ha ha.


everbody always says these mods are BS but it really just depends on the vehicle. If you have acess to the ECM you can most likely tune around it. If not it can be a godsend. I can say my ram was pissing me off with the encrypted ECM but now with my juice and BD booster I can lay three gears of smoke on 38's ha ha.

Yes I have and it does work! It's not a additive. It does make throttle respond quicker.
You can turn on or of with the switch. I could not get the site up. It is the electronic device that goes on the throttle ? Yes you could tune but then the ECM may get locked by the tuner.

Yes there is crap out there like Zmax and crap from Lucas, but this does make the throttle quicker, it is over priced. Just send back if you do not like it. I did not buy mine, it was with some stuff given when a friend sold his car. It does not make the car faster. It's just like using a aluminum flywheel back in the day.

NO does not make the car faster, it just changes the throttle response, they do say that right? But it may not really be like the aluminum flywheel because the engine can only ramp up with what it has and not just changing the curve on the throttle. It is not worth the money they want for it. But it does something, unlike Zmax slick50 Lucas they are just snake oil.

Zmax and Lucas is all crap. It's funny they say it soaks into the metal, BS if it did your oil pan would leak. Oil will soak though it.
