Hahaha, do it now or maybe never do it!
The plan worked out well. Now I can leave little projects to knock out by themselves like the rear bbk, BAVSOUND stg1 install with dynamat, rear LED tails, repaint the front end, and other minor tweaks.

Yep! I think we spent close to $10k... LSDs for the ZHP and 135 and a bunch of other bits and pieces... We're crazy car people with kids

Took the car on a 150ish mile shake down out to the GFs place in Indiana on Tuesday, it was 75/sunny/windows down perfect weather and the car performed perfectly. Probably one of the last few drives out there as we sign on our place Monday.
Next thing I need to do is polish the car really well. This is going to involve me actually getting decent detail stuff. I was heavy into detailing for profits years ago and the dealing domain has changed drastically. I was using misty megiuars stuff back then and was oblivious to what's out there. Basically a newbie now, so detailers domain will take some of my money for an orbital and various supplies when the time comes.

After driving the car a few times my sprint booster impression is this:
I didn't even notice the difference until I did a full throttle 4th gear and pushed the button for each setting. That's when I noticed the SLIGHT difference. I figured it would be much more noticeable and that's the only way I notice it really. As of now I leave it on "green" when I'm driving. All in all, I'm very under impressed but this mod.

That's surprising! I noticed a huge difference with mine. The red setting is almost too much...

I'm going to drive on red for a little as well. Maybe I just need to get acclimated but again, initial impression is subpar

Personally I feel all the throttle type units, such as the PedalBox and SprintBooster, lack finesse. I've tried the SprintBooster and hated it, so I bought a PedalBox unit as it was supposed to be better. It is more linear than the SprintBooster, but still doesn't feel right. It lacks the finesse at the very top of the pedal travel that allows for smooth low-speed driving. It's great for rev-matching my downshifts, but I can't for the life of me get a smooth enough throttle transition when upshifting while driving normally.
Honestly, I'm used to the stock mapping, and prefer it over the SB and PB units. If I want to go faster, I just give it more gas. lol
It's not like they actually make your car go any faster.![]()
I have no problem rev matching or doing anything else with the throttle with the Sprint Booster the green setting works great for me in all situations
