VT how come you didn't get the Dinan software with Higher redline, better throttle response and no governer?
Soon. But, it won't be Dinan's. I have heard to best maximize Dinan's ECU remapping, one should have the Dinan throttle body, CAI, and exhaust. I have none.

There are different stages of Dinan software depending on what you have. You can get the Stage 1 with a K&N filter.

Almost, but in opposite order.

In order to maximize the Dinan modifications one should have the software, or you will not see the full benefit of the CAI and T-Body. muffler/software have no effect on each other. (like gay man and lesbian woman)

My Ride: 07 BMW 525i Premium Package, Xenon Lighting Package, manual Transmission. Titanium Grey, 20% Tint around the back, 70% V-Kool on front. Planned mods: Style 71 wheels with Toyo Proxy 4 tires, Sachs suspension upgrade, upgraded stereo, and many more to come.

I don't feel it being too crazily sensitive, maybe because I only have the 525i and a manual.
Also, I heard there's two versions of the sprintbooster, one for manual and one for auto, and I got an auto one for my manual. I heard the one for manual is even more sensitive, could this be the case?
ECF, I actually got mine from kathekia few months ago, a great guy to work with =)
I tried to order it thru slkfans but somehow he wasn't responding to my emails, I heard good things from him so I don't know what to say. At that time it happens kathekia is selling one so I grabbed it from him instead.

I overlooked one thing. I have SMG and like driving with the Sport button engaged all the time. It certainly contributed to the sensitivity of the throttle. If I disengage the Sport button, the throttle response is lessened but still far better than stock. Now, for those with Step it's like driving in DS mode with the SB. What you really have to pay attention to is REVERSE with the SB. If you don't modulate the throttle backing up, there is a high likelihood of hitting something behind you.
