If we're talking 1/10 of a second, no, it's not going to make that much of a difference. However, did you get to point B 1/1000 of a second faster due to no lag? Probably, but is 1/1000 anything to proud of? No. Hahahahaha!
but SB + floor mat removal...now we are talking....

And make sure you take an enema too, with ample time to "cleanse" yourself, so you can increase those times even further.

thanx krozi.

yea, i checked that thread but no real answers.

so i'm assuming i should give it a couple more days to "adapt" to me?

don't get me wrong, its awesome at highway speeds but can't quite say the same for regular street....any other input guyz? thanx
wassup man, i've had the Sprintbooster for almost a month now and its sick!
i ran it hard a few times on the street on a stop light so i get the feel of it and get it out of my system.
Now i feel for the pedal, not gunnin it, cuz with the SB my 550 just wants to go!

How does the SB affect MPG? I'd imagine you'd take a hit.

Does anyone with the Sport Auto Transmission have a Sprint Booster fitted? Since the throttle response is improved when you hit the Sport button on SAT equiped cars, I would like to understand what effect the SB has, is it just like driving around with the Sport button engaged all the time, or even more responsive? What would then be the difference between using regular mode and Sport mode? Thanks.

Finally took my car in for servicing and remembered to remove the SB before going. My normal smile turned upside down and turned right-side up within 5 minutes after I left the dealership.
