okay, so those of you contimplating whether or not the SB is worth it.....it is! holy crap, overall response is greatly increased, shifting thorughout is much smoother and off the line lag is gone. 10 minute install and it feels like a new car. i was not a believer but as other will soon attest to...this thing is awesome. 
and i have to give credit where credit is due, i need to thank BB-Tjai from the netherlands for the great price on the used SB and super fast shipping. got it to me in less than 10 days from across the pond.
thanks man

I have heard that sprint booster on automatics moves the shift point much higher towards red-line. Is that correct?

yeah, kinda, faster through the gears but somehow holds each gear higher (closer to redline) before shifting but it seems to start each gear at a higher RPM so theres less "jump" btwn gears. hope that makes sense

Trust me it just feels right. It feels like it should have felt from the start.
It is very difficult to explain. You can only really understand the magic of sprintbooster until you buy it.
It's worth it, if you don't like it (which will not be the case) you can sell it in a heartbeat on the forum for $20-30 less.

Sprint Booster UK

Found these using google search,
I am debating this as well, just waiting to see how sleepy feels after the rpi scoop and BMC filter are installed.
