It improves throttle response.. in turn.. faster acceleration. Something the SC430 needs VERY badly.

Bacardi.. Please keep us posted as I might be interested in this.

from what i understand Sprint Booster is much better then the Biltz control. as soon as i get it, i will let you know because my responce sucks. you get 3 responces, stock, sport and race. you see what you like best and set it. all 3 are different.
gottaigmines you will be the first to know.
anyone want to know more do a internet search Sprint Booster.
comes with 30 day money back guarantee. how can you go wrong.

Wow...almost seems too easy! I have heard that the Blitz is pretty good, but I have to admit this site's ad looks a little "too good to be true" like the children's toys that say "easy assembly", LOL.

My interest is piqued though! If it works well for you, please post results, driving impressions, install pics, etc. I love their little plug and play cartoon above and on their link! LOL

Sprint booster is supposed to be a good product. Lots of BMW and MB drivers use it.

If not for the $300 price tag, I might just get one. I think it is overpriced, so now I just use a heavy right foot.

Hope it works good. I wish a company could flash our ECU, I havent seen anyone do that on our cars.

I have the blitz throttle control and am happy with it. In reading about sprint booster it seems as though its the same device. However the install for sprint booster sounds much easier then the blitz system. The blitz was not difficult it just had some more devices to deal with. I would be interested in any ones report.

I have the Sprint on one of my other cars. Great addition. I have been considering it for my SC since the day I got it.

bacardi, it sounds like you need to reset your ECU if your response is that bad. I agree that the response programmed into the SC430 is not that great and seems to be programmed to only get worse, but when you reset your ECU, it does get closer to reasonable. I'd recommend resetting your ECU before installing the Sprint or Blitz just to have a better feel for what improvements it actually brings. You will probably still have to do a periodic reset even after you install it to achieve the best performance.
