I know it will decrease your throttle range so you would not have to floor it to get WOT, but what I dont understand is how it can reduce the lag time from me pressing on the thottle to engine response. The only logical explaination I can think of is it keeps the car at a higher rev so when you touch the throttle the car would respond much quicker.
Is there a downside to this? |

http://www.sprintbooster.gr/en/ if you haven't checked it out already. after surfing several different forums raving about this sprint booster for the slk350 (and other models), i decided to take a risk and get one myself. i'm not a technical guru, sprint booster sales rep, online business or whatever. so all i can tell you is from from one slk350 owner to another: have you ever felt like there were times you wanted to push your car hard and it seemed kind of sluggish/hesitant (like it took a second to think about going faster)? and then it felt like you had to apply more throttle pressure to get where you wanted to be a second ago? or maybe after getting the slk350 you wondered if you should've tried to get the slk55 instead... (*i'm not claiming that this product will make you beat so-and-so car.) basically, i have no regrets getting the sprint booster and i highly recommend this as a first or close-second upgrade modification to anyone's slk350. the first being green air filters or something other than stock filters-(or at least clean the damn stock filters/boxes! you will be surprised by how much **** is in there!) the car is much more responsive-the way it should've been in the first place. it should "go" when you want it to go and it sure as hell does. installation is about medium difficulty. there are some threads out there with detailed pics/info (like what tools you need). i forget where but i did the installation myself and i'm no mechanic. it just feels weird seeing the gas pedal extend out and not be in its usual place. the only downside i can think of is your gas mileage might hurt a little bit. it's hard not to have a spirited drive when you got this thing in your car. the car is much more fun to drive and it feels like you just brought it home from the dealership. you will know what i'm talking about when you get it.
