Actually.... the more I look at that EVO graph... the more it's confusing...

I'm assuming you are meaning pedal % to be "how far the pedal is actually pressed" and the TPS to be how far the ECU thinks it's open?

If so then I notice on the SB run the TPS from 2 through almost 7 seconds remains nearly constant up around 80-85%.... but the pedal % in that time between 3-4.5 seconds drops off tremendously... Why does the TPS stay that high when it looks like you've nearly taken your foot off the gas? (pedal % drops to about 25% at 4 seconds for example but TPS is still reading 80%?


The non-SB run on the other hand seems to mostly track, with pedal% and TPS% rising and falling near each other.


Further, if the pedal % is how far the pedal was actually pushed... from 0-3.2 seconds the pedal is pushed further on the SB run than the non-SB run... then there's that weird pedal % drop I mention on the SB run (though the TPS % stays almost constant)....

With your referencing to specific code, you seem to know in depth knowledge of your powertrain, and with the amount of cars and trucks we make product for I can try my best to give you information but in reality it won't really matter as it's the experience and the first 5 min. with a SB that counts.

In saying that I have an offer,

a) I will send a SB for an IS250/350/IS-F to the most repected IS owner on this site
b) If it is you or someone you think is up to writing a review/video/write perfect
c) I will overnight UPS the unit in exchange for a proper evaluation
d) The person can write a review and prove us wrong, or hopefully right
e) obviously we are looking for enthusiast that fit our taget market, so a Guy/Girl with a catback, cold air, and other simple bolt-ons.


Our goal is for the customer to not only buy a Sprint Booster but to continue to buy for the next car, and the next car. Consistantly we here "it is the best mod I have done in years"

Let me know if this is acceptable.
I'll go ahead and vouch for Kurtz, regarding this offer. He's extremely well-known on this site as an authority, and most everybody listens to what he has to say.

Honestly, though, I don't see any disagreement between either parties. Kurtz is 100% correct, and from your previous post, you've acknowledged that this product does nothing to change performance during WOT - "I'm not stating the car accelerates faster..."

Nevertheless, if you can get Kurtz to say nice things about your product (if it's a good product, I'm sure he will - he just won't tout the product as something it's not, and again, I don't see any disagreement here between either party) it would go a long way as far as perception on CL is concerned.

If Kurtz is willing to accept our offer, we have no problem sending a unit his way.

To make this interesting and more well rounded we have 2 more units we would like evaluated, preferably all with different cars. Kurtz I think has an IS-F. We are looking for IS 250 and IS 350. To make it well balanced. Cars that have simple bolt ons and we can say makes a fair benchmark for testing.

Nope, I have a 350... I know Lobuxracer has an F and I think Caymandiver does too, they'd be the first two I'd suggest there...

Kurtz = Accepted and testing for a IS 350 (auto?)
caymandive = Pending and testing for a IS F
Lobuxracer = Pending and testing for a IS F

And if everyone is ok with it, stonefan52 has offered himself up for testing on a IS250. We are looking for the most critical yet respected people for this testing. So if the crowd on here is all in agreement, we can get this testing off the ground

Hello Kybball#1, we do care about what the masses think. And generally we know what the masses think. There are two camps, first are those who have never tried sprintbooster before and just dont understand its benefit. The second group are those who have tried sprintbooster and love it.

So what we like to do is find the most critical of individuals out there that are willing to give it a fair shot. And almost always, they generally have a better understanding of what our product does and they generally love it, or at the very least have a new found respect of it.

You can go on countless forums. Sprintbooster originated in Europe first, so it has already been adopted as a very respectable mod. Mercedes Benz, Mini Cooper, and other euro car drivers are one of our strongest segments. Now that we have expanded our marketing on other makes, and we wish to make this our focus.

Dont be disapointed if you dont get included in the test. Remember our Sprintbooster module has a 30 day trial period. Buy it. Document your experience, and if at the end of 30 days your not completely happy. If you just arent fully drawn into our product, return it. Get your money back. We want people to try our product and talk about it. What ever the experience is, take pictures, make a video do what you wish. All we are looking for is a fair shake.

After you get into it, you won't want to let go. Its worth every penny.

lobuxracer and caymandive are two of the most respected.

nothing against stonefan, but i would rather see lobux or cayman review since they both race/track their cars.
