Hello together,

who of you has this Sprint Booster on his F-Type? What are the experiences, which setting you drive in everyday use?
Thanks for the answers

I do. Normal every day driving it’s off. Headed to car events or spirited driving sport mode on 5. Drag strip race mode on 9.

Take car to shop or valet = valet mode = 30% throttle

 

thank you very much, very interesting. In various videos you can see how Sprint Booster V3 works. There the implementation of the gas pedal
seems to be very sensitive. So not just generally 20% plus on the gas position. The command is simply also implemented faster. However,
in these videos is never a PCM, ECU switched in between. Who has more experience here?

 

I have one installed on mine as well. Many different settings, and works great...When you put it on highest Race setting...Pedal is VERY touchy, but fun! I feel it was well worth the cost.

Perfect and thank you. What do you think, is this a fake demonstration in terms of responsiveness and sensitivity? In this Demo I see not a ECM, PCM what ever.
I will say, when it´s works in my F-Type as in the Video, what a nice product!

Andi - the way this product works is it interrupts the signal between the gas pedal and throttle to modify the signal being sent. It works just like the video shows. It does not modify or need anything from the car to work, as it is just changing the signal that is being sent from the pedal to the throttle.

 

There is a tradeoff. The downside to these things happens when you are trying to accelerate out of a corner at the limit. They make it harder to modulate the throttle when you are right on the edge of using ALL the traction you have. Because these things create more throttle travel per unit of pedal travel they make it harder to avoid overpowering your rear tires and starting to slide the rear end out. "Touchy" as Therock says. If you are not a skilled drifter you can get into trouble fast. Dodge built the Vipers with slow opening throttles specifically to make those cars easier to handle at the limit. I'd never do this to a car I wanted to push hard in a canyon or on track. I don't do quarter miles though, but it sounds like the pros might outweigh the cons in that kind of driving.

Another issue for manual cars is that they MAY make it trickier to rev match smoothly since they amplify any slight mistake you make in throttle application. If you are perfect at rev matching you won't have a problem. I modified my Dynamic setting to remove the Dynamic throttle boost, and that immediately smoothed my rev matching. Bad rev matching shocks the drive line and diff, not to mention causing a traction glitch that can spin you in a braking zone.

My 2 cents.

 

thank you so much for this information...
