Sprint booster?

[lynxnova]

Hello fellaz, I was considering in purchasing the sprint booster for my 2010 tahoe but before I pull the trigger I would like to get some insight from anyone who has experienced with it.... does the sprint booster actually work? Can you notice a big difference in performance immediately?

Sprint booster ? A tune is just about the same price.

Black. Bear. They know what they're doing.

Far as im aware the sprint booster works by sending false signals to the ecm to trick it into running more aggressively. Your better off getting a custom tune with blackbear.

I have read good things on the sprint boosters. They are so post to move your throttle plate quicker and give you better throttle response even if you are already tuned. I am going to get one too and I am tuned.

Thanks guys... I already have it tune with black bear, noticed a little difference but I need more..... I have an k&n CAI, full Borla exhaust and the performance was barley noticeable... I have a friend with a 2015 jeep cherokee SRT.. I driven it on sport mode, he then put in a sprint booster and man!.... what a big difference... it definitely made me think about purchasing one...justinesky.... if u pull the trigger please let us know if you noticed a big change

Look into Vitesse throttle controller. Camaro 5th Gen has had them for a while now. They just launched the version for our trucks. More levels of adjustments and for less money. I just put one into my avalanche, and I really like it. It ditches the electronic lag, and each increment changes the throttle ramp, and will eventually get 100% throttle ahead of having the pedal to the floor... makes it feel like a normal car. Your foot doesn't have to slap the pedal so hard or so far to get the truck to accelerate. It does not add power. It does not prevent the trans from being in the wrong gear (mine always seems like it's in 2 gears too high).

Thanks fish-man.... I will look into it...

They just trick your PCM into thinking you are giving more throttle than you are. So if you give 25% throttle, it tells the PCM to open it 50%. A tuner can do the same, but it really isn't the best solution. If you want more power, you should look into cam/headers/blower, rather than wasting money on this.

I've installed sprint boosters they are exactly what Jenna said. They just make your pedal more sensitive. It can be dialed up or down 4 steps. It's snake oil. Don't waste your hard earned money. Get real performance mods or a tune.

It also gets rid of the lag. Scam? Snake oil? I'm thinking that since they do what they say, there's no deception here.

With a tune, it can leave a "trace" if you are worried about warranty. With this, you can simply remove hardware...in 2 minutes.

With this, you can adjust the sensitivity for slippery conditions...with a tune, you are stuck with whatever your tuner guy plugged in.

I cannot speak for the sprint version, but the vitesse works to my satisfaction. I am also looking into a custom tune, but will be looking for someone who will work with & around the throttle controller.

Then go with the Vitesse or Sprint Booster !

Tuners can also can also perform this function within a tune, no need for something separate.

It describes what it does as a performance change or a economy mode. That's why it's snake oil to me. Get a tune. Adjusting shift points and pressures will make you way more satisfied for you dollar.

knock it or try it. Vitesse was offering a 30d money back guarantee... at least when I bought mine just over a month ago, you can check with them. And no I did not send it back. When I get a custom tune (only running a canned tune via inTune... with adjusted shift points/pressure), I will plan on keeping it on the vehicle for the sake of INSTANTANEOUS on-the-fly adjustability ...nobody's tune can do that. I do dial it back for use on wet roads... and will have to for snow as well. Take a look over at camaro5.com for reviews.
