Sprint Booster Throttle Enhancer, Looking for Testers
The Sprint Booster is well known in European car communitites for it's ease of installation and instant improvement in throttle response. Z1 Motorsports is now stocking these for 350Z and G35 applications. We have been testing one out on our company G35 as well as multiple local customer cars. While it will not add peak HP on the dyno it will increase throttle reponse and will make the car react faster, and be faster in 1/4 situations.
Because this is not a product that can be easily dyno tested and confirmed. We are letting you have the chance to test it out for yourself and decide if it's worth buying or not. We are offering a 30 day trial run on all Sprint Booster purchases. Buy one, plug it in, if you're not pleased with it return it to us a full refund. You pay only the shipping charges.
To make it even better we're offering a special deal to the first 10 customers to buy one. You'll get the 30 day trial, in addition to a special discounted price. All we ask in return for this discounted price is that you post in this thread with your feedback of the product. Good or Bad, Love it or Hate it. We want to know about your opinion of it, once you've tried it out.
The Sprint Booster is available for G35 Coupe or Sedan and 350Z applications, 6MT or Auto. We have them in stock and ready to go.
Please PM, e mail, or call me for the intro special or to order. If you're local stop by the shop and let John install a Sprint Booster in your car and test drive it.

are you stocking the two different part numbers (auto and 6m/t)? I've been told the 6 m/t is too aggresive. Although these types of devices work great on cars with poor throttle response from the factory, I don't think G/Z's have that issue.
IMO, a linear throttle response is ideal, even with drive-by wire vehicles.
There are plenty of more choices out there now too (e.g. buddy club).
Regardless, looking forward to seeing other's reviews.

Because these have mostly been marketed in the past to Euro markets the feedback on the Nissan / Infinity models is minimal. Here are some samples of feedback from other users:
" ...so had a SB installed on friday, after buying it from a local shop here in austria. my feedback: wow. everything the guys claim here is true. you do notice it, and unlike other forum members here, my g/f tried it out and she noticed immediately - considering it for her golf now "
" I want to share my experience with the Sprintbooster. First, I've got to say that this is definitely a good mod if you're a performance enthusiast. As the others have mentioned, the car feels more 'alive' and also far more sporty. The sprintbooster basically reduces the lag from the ECT by multiplying a certain amount you press on the gas pedal. So say before installing SB you have to press the pedal half way down to get your RPM jumping high to around 3-4k RPM. Now you only need to press it 1/4 down to get your RPM to the same point. "
" Having done 100 miles or so since installing it this morning, I can say the biggest improvement is from around 20/30mph. You just nudge the accelerator and get pushed back - much more than previously. I like the effect and will be keeping it. As noted above, effects will be more obvious without a remap, but I would recommend that everybody gets one. It's (relatively) cheap and if you don't have one, I certainly don't regret getting it. "
" Ok people...got it installed this afternoon. First impressions....I really like it! The car is alot more fun to drive. Can't tell you if the car would be any faster in 0 to 60 or the 1/4 mile but it feels alot more responsive especially at low speeds. It gives you the impression that would have more power. The throttle response is much quicker and i like it better than the stock way. For those worried that it would be too hard to drive in daily traffic....well it is not an issue...it's not like you're at WOT just when you touch the pedal. The install took about 2 minutes.... It's the kind of product that makes your car a little more fun to drive....sort of like the rear sway bar. So personally, i like this mod so far....i have spent $$ way worse than purchasing this device! "
In our own testing we have all been impressed with how much quicker the car will rev up and how much more responsive the throttle is. After driving with it on his G35 for a week Russell commented that once it was taken off of his car he noticed it more, and missed having the instant response.
Give me a call or PM for more info and be one of the first 10 to buy from us and get a special deal on yours. Once you try it will not want to return it.

We didn't believe that the 350Z/ G throttle response was that bad either, until we tried this. Trust me, it made a difference. If you're interested in trying one out let me know and I can get you in on this promo deal. If it doesn't satisfy send it back and you're out $14 or so for shipping.

Very easy install, simple plug N play on the throttle pedal assembly. They are $299 retail. I'm offering the first 10 buyers a special deal on them, PM me for details on that.

It's so easy to install.
Takes about 10 seconds or so. If you're local I'll put it on for you. Better yet here's some pics.
Locate the TPS above the Accel pedal
Take the Sprint Booster
Plug into the TPS harness
Plug the Sprint Booster into the TPS
Have fun after install.

this thing multiplies the throttle input at low throttle positions? and you never posted how much it was. but kudos for not making stupid horsepower gains.
it would be easy to test with a Cypher though I would think. if it is working, the throttle position map should be much more dramatic, no?

They are $299 retail, I can't post the special price here but if PM or call me I will be glad to give you the details.
Yes, it is perfectly safe to use. Although when John tested it on a TT here it was very aggressive and broke the tires loose easily. Takes some adjusting in driving style.
They are $299 retail, please PM or call me for details on the intro production.
Thanks for posting that, I was having a hard time finding any feedback from the Euro community on the Nissan applications, just Audi / BMW / VW mostly.
It could be tested pretty easily I think. After driving a few cars with it and letting local customer drive their cars with it we didn't really do much more testing, the change is easy to notice when driving.
As I stated earlier they are $299 retail with a special promo offer right now that I can't post publicly. Please PM or call me for details.
It is very easy to install and uninstall, take a look at the pics John posted above. Very simple install.
