Question: Sprint booster - How bad is the delay for the automatic and manual transmissions? Does the SB help out the manual just as much as it does for the automatic?
Automatics will see more benefit becuase the car actually downshifts for you quicker.
It's still very worth it though

T, I dont have the SB but I have tried it before. So, my vote goes for the SB. Not that pricey, but big performance. GL on your hard choices sir.

It should be even more fun with the manual, specially when you r revving to match gears on downshifts.

How is the SB in a SMG transmission. Is it even compatible with the SMG throttle. I assume it would be similar to the auto SB version.
