    Update: SPRINT BOOSTER
    Sprint Booster is installed.
    Does it work? YES!

    The Positive:
    You can notice the difference right away when revving the car in park.
    Driving thru my neighborhood the accelerator feels more sensitive.
    Accelerating when merging onto the highway the car seems much faster, pedal response time was alot quicker overall.
    When you need to pass someone and down shift (auto's) it takes alot less pedal travel to engage. Before I would have to push the pedal all the way to the floor to get it to engage, not now.

    The Negative:
    The gas pedal is very sensitive, stop and go traffic will be challenging.
    You will need to operate the gas pedal like a surgeon.
    When down shifting (Auto's) to pass it seems to hold the lower gear too long before up shifting even after completely taking your foot off the gas pedal.
    Wet roads or snow would be very challenging.
    When my wife drives my car it will make me nervous!

    * My Sprint Booster is the original version*
    I can see how the newer version with the 3 different program settings would be nice.
    Sort mode (green) would be perfect for daily driving in the city.
    Race mode (red) would be good for freeway or track driving.

    SPRINT BOOSTER

    Notice the area in the middle of the pedal assembly, that's where the screwdriver has to slide into to get it to disengage.


    Here is the white plastic clip that needs to be pushed down to slide the pedal off to the left.

    Here is the pedal mounting base.

    Here is the plug you need to remove. Squeeze the two side and wiggle out.

    Your Welcome.

    Will report back after I drive it for awhile. So far I only went about 35 miles with it.

    Gary, could you post a close up pic of the cables connected with your installed booster, or is everything already buttoned up? If so, no worries.

    Sprint boost is similiar to removing the cdv valve? Has anyone sat in both types?

    No, they have nothing to do with each other. The CDV only affects manual transmission cars, and only its shifting behaviour. The Sprint Booster affects throttle response; nothing to do with shifting.

    It's not the car you drive, it's how you drive it.

    Update:

    After driving my car for awhile today and attempting to get use to the Sprint Booster I decided to remove it. I put approx 50 miles on the car in stop and go traffic and highway use. Here is what led to my decision.

    1. The gas pedal is way too Sensitive overall.
    2. Stop and Go traffic with the SB installed is dangerous to say the least.
    3. Several times while accelerating the car holds the lower gear way to long and will not up shift even with my foot off the gas pedal.
    4. From a complete stop the car lunges forward uncontrollably.
    5. Highway driving at approx 75 mph and above the gas pedal is way too Sensitive, barely touch the pedal and the car downshifts as to pass.
    6. I couldn't even imagine driving in the Rain or Snow with the SB installed.
    7. There is NO WAY I can let my wife drive my ZHP with this thing installed!

    Anyone that is familiar with "Trigger Creep" will understand when I say the SB totally removes it. Turns your gas pedal into a Surgical instrument...

    As previous stated on the newer version the "RED" setting is too Sensitive for Daily Driving. I would imagine the "GREEN" setting would be a nice compromise.

    Apparently the Sprint Booster didn't want to come out!
