Default sprintbooster circuit

does anyone have the schematic for the simple circuit inside the sprintbooster?

Diagnosticator: What technically do I need to do to mimic what the sprintbooster does? I do have experience building circuits if I just get the specifics and guidance on where to place the circuit/amplifier.

Open for discussion...

Default I don't know how the Sprint Booster circuitry is configured. ...

I would like to know the layout and operational theory myself. I don't know if anyone has examined the device for component details and circuit layout.

Default I searched and could have sworn someone explained the simple circuit

couldn't find it though. What spark plugs are you running? I'm getting NGK BKR7E's tomorrow morning. They are pretty cold as i've read and even a version 8 that's even colder. Your thoughts on plugs diagnosticator?

Default For some reason, I have the notion that it's simply an op-amp circuit, but I can't ...

remember why I have that idea. Seems reasonable though.
I'm not enthusiastic for the copper plugs, I don't subscribe to the theory supporting the alleged benefit of the copper electrode plugs compared to platinum or other rare earth alloys for electrode material.
In general, colder heat ranges are preferred, and help prevent auto ignition and detonation from developing, provided the heat range selected is hot enough to reliably insure that the minimum temp needed to burn off any carbon deposits and self clean is achieved during the typical driving cycle conditions encountered.

Default Have you driven a car with one? Does it make a real difference?

I wouldn't mind giving it a go, but last I checked it carried a $300 price tag or something...

Default No, I have not driven a Sprint Booster equiped car yet. ...

But reviews written here on AW and on other Internet sites, report that it does make a noticable difference in the throttle response.
