I may have to look into the Sprint Booster. Just not sure if it is worth $329 though.
Anyone know the difference between the one for the EvoX and the regular Lancer and which one is recommended for the Ralliart?

im intrigued by this product, I think it seems worth the 3 bills cause that delay time is so annoying sometimes, specially when u see a van take off faster than u lol

Too late, snake oil does taste pretty good. It should be noted that according to Sprint Booster
Therefore it doesn't make you accelerate faster, it simple changes the pedal movement required to hit a specific throttle position giving the impression that it makes you accelerate faster. I also see no reason how it could make you shift faster. If you race, the product would be useless since you're rarely in a situation where you're either not off the throttle, maintaining neutral throttle or at full throttle. It's the electronic equivalent of tightening the throttle cable. If you're happy paying 300$ for that, go nuts and enjoy.

By making the throttle respond faster to your input, you will feel as though your car has more muscle than it really does!
• Sprint Booster does not increase Horsepower.
• Sprint Booster does not reduce your 0-60mph times.
• Sprint Booster DOES make your car 'FEEL' faster.

Grabbing an image right off google search images. we have the following image.
This application is likely for a Automatic transmission. Now of course not every SB is tuned exactly the same, different modules have different connectors and every car has different voltages for their throttle control. but we will just use this specific curve to make the point.
Keeping the throttle curve in the same in the low end makes perfect sense for an automatic transmission. Why??? Because you wouldnt want the feeling of a jerky start when you touch the pedal. Basically making the point that this isnt just a straight up amplification of throttle thru out the range. Getting back to the point about the rest of the curve. the most important part of the Automatic versions is tuning the throttle curve to be sensitive in the middle. Giving the driver a great feel / response. Not all curves are the same of course, but you get the idea. Some seem to think that this one picture alone explains everything about the sprint booster. Below is another picture showing a completely different curve. Allow me to explain that one as well.
This image would likely represent a Manual sprint booster module. Notice how the curve is radically different. The low end of the throttle is more sensitive but as you can see this curve beings to rejoin the normal throttle line. This would give a driver a very peppy throttle feel for driving stick / manual. Some enjoy the livelier throttle and I must admit will make people shift alittle more aggressive then they might normally. but this module invites that behavior, engaging in other words
Does that make sense for your Amby?
