Right???
I mean, we have the mighty 2uz... but the lag is there, indubitably!
Would you or I notice a difference? I'm sure. But a $$$$$$$$$ difference? That's where the curiosity kills the cat for me.

Correct on the reviews and the results speaking for themselves. This is now my best selling part hands down. I've sold more Sprint Boosters this year than lift kits and Gibson Exhausts combined.
Anyone on this forum that buys this and doesn't say "Holy crap this really works" I will let you send it back, no restocking fee, no questions asked. The only return I have was from 80 yr old guy that couldn't reach up behind the gad pedal to install it.

Also, I'm offering a 5 year warranty on this which no one else is doing.
Just installed mine and love it. Installation was super easy, literally plug and play. Took maybe 10 mins to fish the wire around where I want it and install the little control unit into a switch blank. (Tried to upload a pic but I can't for some reason). Anyway, I keep it on Sport / 7 and it definitely gives it some punch, a much better throttle response.:thumb3:

Glad you like it. I can upload the pics for ya if you text them to me. Have you noticed a bump in gas mileage at all? I've have some people tell me after a few tanks of gas they picked up some better mileage.

They are pricey for sure. FWIW, given my setup (E rated 275/70/18 on stock gearing, V6) and the factory delay in response time, I think it was worth it (even if it is mostly one of those things that manage perception more than actually change anything). For me, it makes the driving experience more enjoyable, every time I am behind the wheel.

Hell yeah it is! I have on both of my trucks now and thought I was gonna need to re-gear my one cause the bigger tires killed it. I couldn't believe the difference and now I don't need to regear the truck! Translation = it freaking put it on steroids like how it should have been from the factory.

What he said ^^^. Also, I stand behind this 100%. If you get it and aren't impressed, your money back! The damn thing is incredible.

I'm happy to hear it. I've had quite a few tell me they've seen better mileage with this on. I don't list this as one of the features, but it seems it might be one. Less shifting on the tranny and more power available at low rpms is probably the reason.
I also had a guy in 35" tires with customer front and rear bumpers with a winch that told me he was going to re-gear his truck as it was just super slow and after he installed the Sprint Booster he no longer need to re-gear it!!! I sent him the link to this forum post and told him he needs to tell the story here.

[MENTION=277115]David J Losoya[/MENTION] - Thanks for posting and chiming in. The question is, what was your mileage BEFORE you installed the sprint booster??? These do help with better mileage
This is my best selling part to date.Remember, I have these for ANY VEHICLE made after 2003. Contact me if you'd like to try out for another one of your vehicles. It will make it faster.
I've had a few ask about this the mini controller. It connects to the plug like an aux cable. Simple. I think it looks cool when it’s on at night, but if you don’t want to see anything and want a stealth install, you don't have to hook up controller at all. Once you set it, it remembers the setting (even if your battery dies) and never needs to be plugged in unless you want to be able to change it later but I always leave mine on the same setting.

Received mine today. Install is pretty easy except for the cramped working quarters under the dash. So far I'm impressed with the booster, it most definitely makes the throttle more responsive. I would advise against going crazy with it to start as you will likely end up getting in an accident if you aren't ready for it. Start at low numbers and work your way higher as you get used to the change in throttle response. I just filled my tank so I'll see if there's any change in the gas mileage. Even if there isn't, I'm happy having a throttle that actually does what I want now!

I'm still on the fence on this thing in spite of the all of the positive reviews. Just wish it was a bit cheaper.
