Sprint Booster & Heel-Toe

this seems like a logical use for the SB.. requires less pedal travel with ur heel makin it easier..i don even have enuf space for my knee either way (need new steerin wheel) and i dont hit track on a reg basis...but still

heel toe isnt nessarly just for track, its all about rev matching, it can help with smoother downshifting, i mean if u try heel toeing on regular stop lights and city driving, if u do it rite ull notice way smoother downshifts

Its just not really the best technique for everyday driving. Keeping your throttle constantly open kills gas mileage.

wouldnt that all depends, cause it helps with a smoother downshift and rev matching, but it comes with a price of killing gas mileage as u would put it, u got 2 take the good with the bad

i think if ur not 2 worried about gas then it can b a pretty good technique 2 master and it certainly helps with everyday driving but if gas is a major concern then u wouldnt b thinking about sprint booster and heel toe anyways rite

Who cares about gas mileage if it makes your drivetrain last longer? Besides, gas prices are pretty good right now.
