Has anyone heard or using this product? If so, is there any dramatic difference? Thanks.

what have you done to your engine, sounds like major works have been done to your car.
I just go for the looks

Hey this thing look pretty neat but what about prices and real life experience? Anyone?
Hmmm i'm a bit in a query, i don't understand how this alters the signal sent to the ECM but without altering any other particular areas like fuel timing...Also it sounds just like a gadget that doesn't do much, like it's only a market gizmo.

On the other hand, some of the things I didn't like about it"
1. My engine is always reving really high. (Takes awhile to get used to driving smoothly again)
2. My car become a bit more jerky, but only because I'm used to pressing the pedal more to go fast, but with sprint booster, only a small amount is required to reach the same acceleration rate as before.
3. Gears were changing later than before, especially 1 and 2.
4. Fuel consumption increase as well.
5. I fear that by reving my engine high all the time, might cause damage to the engine later on.
Overall:
This is a great mod to have on your car, if you can give it a couple of days to get used to. For people with smaller engines like the 520 or 525, where the car doesn't have the response of a V8, its definitely a must. I guarantee that anyone who buys this product will love it. It benefits most when someone who owns, say a 520, 525, or a 530, and changed their rims to 19 or 20, and lost some acceleration or the car is lagging a bit more than before, SPRINT BOOSTER will let you have the same feel again, like you're driving a 16 or 17 inch wheels. I might have missed a few good points about it, but Its a great product!!
