Question Sprint Booster

Do we even need Sprint Boosters once we have tunes like Procede or JB3?
Or are SprintBooster worth it, if you don't have a tune?

You achieve the same effect from simply flooring it whenever you accelerate

BAD BAD idea to mix a sprint booster with PROcede or a JB3. It would drive erratic at best

Does it actually improve throttle response over what the procede has?

I thought the sprint booster was awesome with v3 but it is a bit to much for v4 since it is already so smooth. I ended up selling mine when v4 was released

For the people that used the sprint booster on the N54 engine, what differences did you notice?

All the spring booster does is increase throttle response. You could just save the money and push the pedal a little further down.

naw, thats a waste of money trust me, especially if u have a tune. With a tune ur throttle response already is already a little touchy ,the sprint booster would just make the throttle response more annoying in everyday driving

I love my Srprint Booster. Dont knock it till you try it. Why do you think the M cars have a sport button and M engineers didnt just say "the people can push the pedal harder". The Sprint Booster does the same thing. Try out a car that has one.

I'm curious too. Anyone in the NYC area have one that I can test out? I'll also let you guys drive my car so you can feel the v4.
