Sprint Booster review for 370z 7 speed AT

Not to be a downer. I just read the description of the product, all it does is recalibrate your pedal to make it more aggressive. You can do the same thing simply by hitting the gas pedal harder. A tune will actually change the tip in, resulting in more power and sharper response. Wouldn't money be better spent in that area?

My Prius has the same feature. It feels cool, but it doesn't do jack $hit.

That is true with the pedal, but response time is different. I honestly don't now how you can say that you wnt more resonse by going 3/4 pedal instead of 1/2 pedal day to day. Sprintbooster is legit, as i had it in me e55 and was cheap on ebay new. The e55 was an 05 though.

Its just expensive since the z is a new platform. Wait in a couple of years or search the FS ads and you may get lucky in a year or so.

Read the description of the product, all it does is simply change the throttle position. Let's assume you put your foot 50% down, instead of opening the throttle at 50%, they open it at 75%. How is that changing power? You can do the same thing by hitting the gas pedal harder.

in a way your right cossie1600 but your still going to have throtle lag if you open it 75-100% stock.

What happens in your 370Z when you hit the gas?

Usually, you get a full second of delay before you start moving. Sprint Booster eliminates this... you get a quicker acceleration from a stop.

The Sprint Booster is engineered to enhance the driving experience by providing increased acceleration time (eliminating delay) on drive-by-wire cars by continuously measuring and converting the digital signal and providing the ECM (Electronic Control Module) with a new and altered signal for much quicker response. The Sprint Booster improves response, increases pedal input sensitivity and delivers more impressive off the line performance you can really feel.
