Did not search that hard then....

V2 has a a switch that you can have it off, like half , then full on.
That's it, and you don't have to have the switch, you can set it and forget it.

No difference in performance since all they do is get rid of the safety margin ( accelerator pedal lag)that most manufactures have on the throttle systems.

I switched to V2 for the fact that I can have it on when I want (switch intensity) and turn it off without disconnecting it. Get the V2 or I can sell you my v1 if you like.

how about you keep your V1 and swap your V2 for my V1, then you will have 2xV1=V2 and I will also have a V2
OK?

Where does everyone purchase their Sprint Boosters? Is there somewhere online that everyone here knows about that's cheaper than the $329.99 they ask for on the Sprint Booster site??

I'm heavily considering this as the weak throttle tip-in was something that put me off from the start.
