Actually, I don't have any problems with my accelarator or shifting, but I'll do the reset just to see if there is going to be a difference.
Btw, might it be that the reset is part of the success of the SB?

First of all, WOOOW WHAT THE sprint booster can do. Second, i installed the SB and directly tired the resetting. Dunno if it helped or worked,just to be on the safe side. i tried it for 40s.

Well, its reset and finally thye car has better response.
Not a massive change but seems to have made things a bit better.

Didn't you drive it afterwards???. DetailsI MAY HAVE FELT the car to become less JERKY at the begining, but i doubt its from the reset, i think its how my foot was not accustomed to the paddle.
So guys, just do a reset, wont hurt, and if it actually works, then its a +.
Dunno if this helped guys.GL and ENJOY

I can attest to the validity of this, it completely smoothed out my shifts...................... and then my car blew up ,.... but the shifts were great 
I know I am asking this question almost 4 months late but what does "my car blew up" mean after the 25 sec trick?

Well, i noticed a DRAMATIC change, before SB and After SB. The car feels alive and as if it has a new engine. As for the 25s trick, didnt feel any difference. Tried the SB before resetting and after resetting, Didnt feel much difference.
I MAY HAVE FELT the car to become less JERKY at the begining, but i doubt its from the reset, i think its how my foot was not accustomed to the paddle.
