So I read a few things about the sprint booster... I understand it deletes throttle response delay, decreases shift time, and shifts down faster. So what my question is if the sprint booster puts excessive strain on the engine, drive belt, transmission, etc. Does it hurt the car in any way shape or form?
Thank you

You probably did not use the correct keyword. I did a search on "sprint booster" and got about 10 pages of results. Below are some samples:

Don't ask another question! Hahaha! I'm kind of serious. Just order it. You and your car will thank me and everyone else on this board for the rest of your life.

Does not hurt car. Hurts your neck...ha ha ha. This is not for someone that just drives to work 1 mile and doesn't appreciate their car. It willenhance your driving experience and make you use the car the way it is supposed to be used. I just got mine 2 weeks ago. it is impressive how much faster the car feels and the quick shifts with minimal depression of the gas peddle.
Again, this is not for whimppie drivers... It is for the casual person who enjoys acceleration.
