I don't feel that way with the Sprint Booster. I really like the green setting.... so much so that I just removed the switch all together... I guess it's just a matter of personal preference.

I would just like to chime in and say that, everyone should also be aware that making this small upgrade is going to put you at a much higher risk for sub frame cracking related issues. I would highly suggest getting the sub frame reinforced before getting something like this, that is if you're the type to have fun with the car with the improved snappy throttle response. This flimsy sheet metal that our beloved manufacture, unfortunately decided to go with for the sub frame on our cars, is very unforgiving. The added ability to obtain a quicker torque response, will be transferred through to the differential, which is bolted directly to said sheet metal.
I personally do not own a SB or PB, but plan to snag one after the car goes in next month to have a new sub frame welded in. This is a nightmare that I have been dealing with for MANY months now, and after many headaches, the car is going into a BMW body shop 5/16/16 to get just under 40 hours of body work/taking apart of the entire rear end of the car and all components. This is, in the eyes of most, a stupid decision to make. Spending all this money on a car that is "not worth it", however, to me the car means more sentimentally than anything I have ever had..
I am not trying to scare you guys, nor am I bad mouthing these upgrades. Hell, I can't wait to get one, I just wouldn't wish such a problem on anyone! Use caution my friends, and cover your behind ahead of time

Most every performance mod we add to our cars will increase driveline shock. It's just a chance we have to live with.

I'm glad to see you guys are enjoying your PedalBox.
I like my Sprint Booster mainly because I have a functional Sport button on my center console
I'm okay with this

Heavy duty bushings, motor mounts, trans mounts, etc. all contribute to increased driveline shock...

See, I agree with you 100% regarding all of that. I've expressed the need to have proper, functional rubber on the car many times here as well.. Again, I was only chiming in because I would hate to hear of another member getting surprised with a sub frame issue. Charlie knows my pain, haha.
BTW, I remember when you first did this.....I still want it. Gonna start on the DIY once the car goes into Warwick next month, might need a hand, traded for a burger and some beers???

It's too bad this thread's title is "PedalBox AKA SprintBooster", since they are two different, competing devices.
That said:
It is indeed too short. Since the PedalBox is a largely set-it-and-forget it device for me, I cut a cable notch into the side of the first aid box I have installed under my seat, and keep the controller there.
