seems like a waste of money when you can get a BMS thingy for the same price

Yes, I have had it for the last 3 years. It improves throttle response

I wonder if this could be used in conjunction with the BMS Pwoer Box due to this is just changing the signal from the pedal and boosting it. The power box changes timing and with the engine, HMMM

I have got it installed with the JB4. The Sprintbooster does not increase power, it just amplifies the throttle signal making the throttle response a lot sharper. A bit like the M button on the 1M where it triggers a sharper throttle response.

Would you say it's worth the $300 they want for it?

I had one on a previous car. Just save the money and get one of the tunes most folks refer to here. The tunes increase throttle sensitivity AND give you some other benefits beyond the SprintBooster (signal amp).

Hey Guys,

I work at the company that markets Sprint Booster in North America. I'm not a forum sponser so I don't want to irk anybody by promoting them on here, but let me say that they have a money back deal and I think you would be very happy with one. There's a reason we won Best New Product at SEMA with Sprint Booster.

You can pm me if you need any details.

I tried it before I bought it. Yes I think it makes a difference. Even with the tune it makes a difference in throttle response.
