All it does is increase throttle response and on his manual 530 we found that it made driving the car less enjoyable. I would definitely NEVER buy one and especially not when it costs the rediculous price that it does...
the funny thing is, right after he sold his SB, the guy who bought it from him ended up selling it a few days after he got it as well. This is by far the most hyped up mod on the site lol.

when was increased throttle response a bad thing? I regretted selling mine to greg on this forum for $180 shipped more than a year ago. BTW greg are you willing to sell it back?
I only sold it , because I was palnning on selling my current ride and getting an ///M.

Well I looked into getting one. I'm told CA Automotive here in UK there is a new one available as of 2 weeks ago, that comes with a switch so you can have 4 settings on it going from the standard SB to more softer settings for town driving, sounds great! Will install next week and let you know what I think. Anyone else heard of this device?

You bastards, you have a m5, and you say a sprint booster makes a huge difference on top of 500 HP. I can't even imagine what its like.
i now only drive in 400 mode and it feels like 500 mode !!!!!!

i dont get this sprint booster thing
doesent it just steepen the throttle curve so as u press your foot down it just tells the car the pedal is further down then it actually is?
but it wont go over the max pedal position
so surely just stamping your foot on the acc foot to the floor is EXACTLY the same as using the sprint booster?
never used it my self but ?250 for a probably a little ?5chip just altering some data seams ALOT of money lol
