They state in their own information that there is no improvement in acceleration, this is all about making the car "feel" more responsive by amplifying your inputs. It's like changing out your steering rack with one that has twice the ratio, you'll turn in faster with less input but the turning radius is still the same as is the limit of grip. It's personal preference.

Totally agree that it is all about personal preference, out of curiosity where did you find that statement?

'Sprint Booster makes your car 'feel' more powerful' - let's see why...

Faster Throttle Response

Sprint Booster makes your car's throttle respond faster to your foot. As a result, your gas pedal actually achieves a full throttle response 25% sooner than the stock configuration. Even if you have a 'sport' button, Sprint Booster will quicken the throttle response time. By making the throttle respond faster to your input, you will feel as though your car has more muscle than it really does!


• Sprint Booster does not increase Horsepower.
Sprint Booster does not reduce your 0-60mph times.
• Sprint Booster DOES make your car 'FEEL' faster.
• Sprint Booster is not for everyone.
Basically WOT is WOT as it doesn't change any engine parameters, you can't make the car's accelerator go to 11 (Spinal Tap reference).
