Sprint Booster review for 370z 7 speed AT

Not sure if this matters but I have an auto and it does make a difference, car does respond better and I do notice an increase on fuel consumption, just my two cents =P

I'm glad to hear someone finally admit that gas mileage isn't quite as good with SB. It makes sense if the car is driving more aggressive after install. It is like driving more aggressively w/o SB - you just don't have to push the pedal as far.

With an AT you have to be in manual mode, but you can still alter your driving to do exactly what this device does. As I noted previously, this could be a good solution for those of you with an AT who aren't interested in manual mode when you want to get on it. With SB you can just switch to Sports or Race mode and still keep it automatic.

I spent 5 minutes reading this thread and bought it. Love it! My previous car was a srt8 with 650 hp. After purchasing a $600 throttle body the car finally had the snappy throttle response where you could modulate the charger kicking in instead of the gas pedal being an off/on button. For the price of this unit this little doo-dad does the same thing. The price for throttle bodies for the z are quite high so the sb cleaned up response nicley for 1/3 the cost of new tb. I am aware it doesnt give you any more performance but its fun to drive now!
