Sprint booster?
I saw this on the CL advertizements. Any info on it?

In the thread where the install DIY was shown the TOMs unit wires in basically right in line with the wire that just tells the ECU how far you pushed the gas pedal.
So it'd be impossible for it to be doing anything other than lying to the ECU about how far you pressed the gas.

I have it my car. The car is now actually more responsive. NOT faster but more responsive
Personally, I am very satisfied with it and agree with Kurts, but it just more fun when you press the pedal with the sprint booster on ;-)
I made this video (In spanish)

That is literally the only thing it can do for you based on how/where it is installed.
So it "feels" quick because when you push the gas down 20% it tells the car you pushed it 50% (or whatever translation setting it's on).
You'd get the same thing pushing it 50% without spending any money.... unless your foot is REALLY slow or something.
^right on. might be even worse for performance. just like how the ECT power button shortens how much you have to press the throttle, but at WOT it's actually worse.
try using your sprint booster, tom's, etc. at a 1/4mile track and then leaving it in normal.
or a short ram intake. the loud intake noise might seem to give you the most power, but it's actually the worst. the best is the joe z which is also the quietest of all the aftermarket intakes.
