I did a search and could not find a DIY for sprint booster installation. Can anyone do it? I'm ordering mine today or tomorrow.
Thanks!

Sprintbooster is something similar to a buffer with convert lazy gas pedal edge rate to fast edge rate. It improves throttle response and automatic shift point dramatically. With this device, you'll find most tuning software are a waste of money.

With this device, 0-60 time should improve by at least .1 or 0.2 second.

So all you do is just pull the gas pedal the opposite way from flooring it?

Hari,
Why do you have to pay for $40 more? That guy from www.slkfans.com sell it for $250 with shipping included. Anyway, how do you like it? Good, yeah?
