Couldn't stand the lag without the Sprint Booster. I gave in and re-connected it.

Man what a big difference it makes in acceleration. The car is just that much more fun with the SB plugged in. Honestly, its like a whole different car. On the highway, it just picks up and goes with ease and spools quicker, very little lag. Even on city streets, just piloting around, the car just moves.

The past two days without it, the car felt "slower" in a sense. It just didn't have that pick up and go feeling.

I think I can adjust my driving style in and around the city where its the hardest to modulate smoothly.

Definitely. If you're in Boston, shoot me an email. Easy to remove/install to feel the difference.

Yeah, the price does kinda suck I'm surprised no one has made a cheaper version yet.

What is a SB? Raise the sensitivity of the throttle?

Yep, pretty much. It gets rid of a lot of the drive by wire lag.

Default If you can't find a SB, we can try the setting via Lemmiwinks/UniSettings
that someone posted a while back.
