I don't know if my expectations were too high based on all the forum hype or what... but I was expecting more than what I got from this $270 sprint booster. I am not even sure what I got. If I slam the pedal I still get a lag or I get a lurch like the car can't decide on a gear. If I press the pedal gradually there seems to be a slight improvement in acceleration but nothing worth $270. I thought the whole point of this thing was to eliminate lag when I slam the pedal? I feel like there is faster acceleration AFTER I slam the pedal, but I still have the lag. WTF! :huh:

Do you have an auto or manual transmission?
And which model of SB did you get?

You should also do a 25 second transmission reset and then drive it again! :geek: Even with the Sprint Booster, I still regularly reset my transmission to keep that new car acceleration going! :thumbsup:

How do I do transmission reset? I think I have read this before but too lazy to do search. Help me out Puck :)
