Well does this really give this car the pep it needs? This car has the worst lag from start. I hate when you are on the highway (yielding) and trying to jump in a lane you need to gun the car and wait until it kicks in. Will this Sprint Booster work. I also hate when you are at a red light and you go from takeoff and the car doesn't pick up. I am interested in this device if it is worth it but I hear of alotof these devices and not quite sold if this is the trick to gaining more pep on the cheap.
Sprint Booster is it legit?

it's been proven and a known fact that the sb has given tons of never-ending smiley faces to owners. get it and you won't regret it!!!

I have it it works as advertised. Don't reset the transmission as it slowed down the shifting for me. Before the tranny reset with the SB the downshifting was almost too eager.
The drive-by-wire accelerator works on voltage about the range between 0.2V at rest and 4.5V at full throttle. However stock accelerator does not generate linear voltage, i.e.: at half throttle, it generates about 1.5V which is way less than the midpoint voltage between 0.2V and 4.5V. This is to smooth out the surge of power when you accelerate.
Sprint booster (SB) boosts up 25-30% voltage when you step on the accelerator. Stepping accelerator with SB at about 25% will give you the effect of stepping about 40-50% of stock accelerator. SB normally generates max voltage at 75% throttle. That is why sprint booster manufacturers claim faster acceleration but does not add more bhp.
Some will argue that you will get the same effect of SB by stepping faster and harder on the stock accelerator and thus save the money.
So it depends on your driving/acceleration style. If you usually increase the throttle smoothly, sprint booster will give you faster and more power surge. If you are already an aggressive accelerator, sprint booster won't help much.
