Default Sprint Booster Install

After trying to find the best place to route the booster since behind the pedal was not possibly and I didn't want it visible off to the side.I decided to hide it behind the carpet. I cut the carpet 1" above the pedal bracket and pulled the carpet forward and ran it through the back. Booster not visible at all love the end result . Better throttle response

The booster just increases throttle response from the pedal to the engine . Responsive through all RPM bands. I love it makes car fun again . I just had to get use to backing up on a hill LOL , I was burning out haha. I would recommend any one to get it.

haha I will have to get one, I have heard people say that it does not make ur car faster but how does it not if: your throttle response is increased therefore you move "sooner" how do you not reach 0-60 faster?

how would throttle response increase your acceleration?

when u press the gas pedal 70% the sprint booster makes the car think u pressed it 100% (not sure about the actual values just making an example)

u can do the same without a sprint booster and just floor the gas pedal 100%

so if you keep in the "hot rod" or high performance position does it consume gas much faster?

1. common sense, 2. any car will do the same (spirited driving), and (3) I think I admitted that waaay early on if not in this post on another but "I" am okay w/it. Prior to install, I was getting 20-23 mpg and now I'm getting 19-21 mpg...which is still decent numbers...

enough analyzing and talkin...put on some Jordan's and JUST DO IT!!!
