Depends the kind of person you are the knob is a mod for visual type person sprint booster is more of a performance mod but we all know it has no hp or torque gains just quicker response uppon accelaration im doing both before the spring i suggest go for what you like most visual or performance

Since I offer the shifter I'm kind of biased on it but I LOVE it lol makes the interior look tons better and the feel is awesome.
