Just paid $500 to have a sprint booster installed and like it alot! Has some good pep!
I now know how easy it is to install and could have got it cheaper, but whatever.
Any thoughts?? How about gas mileage savings?

$500... wtf? you could get 2 more sprint boosters. anyway, as long as you like it's all that matters
p.s. i don't think you will save on gas because of sprint booster. most likely the opposite

OK, I'll do it...
What the heck is a "Sprint Booster"? I know what the name implies, but what is it, anyone have a picture? and, what kid of performance improvement are we talking about?

Another satisfied SB customer... though with the TOTAL cost of this Mod, perhaps he should be a little less so??!

Are you sure its not a typo? Maybe you only paid $50?!?! I mean, I've installed a couple of these things for free for my friends - its a walk in the park.
Other than - obviously - having a little too much money to spend, its a good mod and I wish you luck with it
you'll definitely learn the limits of your car's abilities much better with the SB
