    Considering SprintBooster...

    Now that I actually have some bucks, I'm looking into mods for muh motor. After looking a little while I came across a thing called SprintBooster which is supposed to improve throttle response, and I think I want one. Is it worth it, or should I pass??

    Snake oil would be a good description.

    PM Blimey for his opinion, Way was very kind and let him test one at the Dragon.

    Ok thanks guys...however I have noticed that there does seem to be a delay in throttle response. Are there any other options? I do a lot of heel-toe shifting and even for the lightest downshifts I practically have to floor it, and it just kinda seems like I shouldn't have to...?

    If your in the proper Rev range after a downshift you should be feeling the car pull fairly quick as your pressing down on the gas. Before purchasing a mod, you might consider taking it by Grassroots garage and let Dan give it a once over to see if there is anything mechanically wrong. Could be a boost leak, bypass valve or a number of things.
