Sprint Booster review for 370z 7 speed AT

SalA · 11-20-2010, 08:47 AM

I hear what you saying, but would be interested to know if anyone returned the SB?

I have an AT on the base model and find that to make a quick lane change or to pass a car on the highway, I have a lag then a surge in acceleration. NOT GOOD!!

for 300$ dude vs 1000$ for a tune and according to some members even with a tune they still get this crapy lag! im getting my Z tuned in spring and im keeping my SB. once in a while i turn it off to feel the difference and man im happy i got this lil gadget!

ya man that kinda sucks for you guys. Thank God we have stillen in So Cal. I guess things back east can be more expensive.

Now I hear people saying they have lag when they step on the gas, my question is what rpm range are you in when you do this? I find that if I drop a gear or two, just like in a stick, my acceleration is good. Yes if Im in a low rpm range and floor it, it takes a sec to kick in like any car Ive driven.

My next question is, does the SB take the lag away at all rpm ranges? If Im at 2k rpm in 6th or 7th gear and I floor it with a SB, will there be lag?

Here is a white paper I found that seems pretty well documented and backed up.

http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sourc...LDerlQ5Wjg6sKw

If the SB does more than just amp the sensitivity I invite them to state how for us. So I guess the real test for the SB is, is it still faster when the gas pedal is floored as fast as possible? I can see the response when you dont floor the pedal as its amping things but WOT is another story.

In the paper he mentioned a tuner changing the pedals scalability so I wonder if this is done when we get our tunes?
