wow good in sight on it ... but for $ 350 from sprintbooster from http://www.sprintbooster.ca/mitsubishi.php is pretty pricey its like an arm and a leg
do u think its worth it ?

 

soul, shouldn't this help you get off the line, but when you're going on/off throttle it won't really be an advantage....

hmm???

its debatable if its worth $350 of your hard earned $$

 

You're funny.

When you're at full throttle, your little miracle Booster won't do you any good... as... well... you're already at full throttle.

Sure, it'll make you fell like you're going faster on the street, but is it actually doing anything? NOPE. Want to accelerate harder? Step on the right peddle! Why are you trying to hype this up like it's some kind of miracle that gives you an instant boost in power? It's not doing anything except for acting as a lead foot.

But whatever someone once said "They're not going to learn anyways. They don't want to hear that the 300$ Sprint Booster is a waste of money and they're not going to accept it. As bad as it sounds, evo_soul has done a very nice job of making himself sound like a knowledgeable person or company yet he rarely speaks based on facts or anything like that. He's a good salesman but that's about it."

 

You're kidding.

You're saying that you get better control of throttle by lessening the resolution of the throttle peddle? HAH.

 

lol i would normally say here we go again but... this time i have finally researched this enough to have a test to prove the net benefit in a very easy definitive way.

since this thread is semi off topic i will post something up later when i get to a computer. lol

i had the smack talkers in mind for this, so i made sure i went out and found the most skeptical bunch that were willing to go thru the paces. if i only had my camera to capture the bitter taste on the nay sayers. someone refused the reults and said it was fixed, most went to the arguement that its over priced, but all but one reversed their position over the cvt lag vs. sb.

but before this goes off the rails. let mte be very specific. this test can prove the issues with lag and counter throttle behaviour of the cvt which has been my main arguement in all my threads. the manual sprintbooster is a different matter all together as i explained.

i will post more later, doing one more test tomorrow.



To be completely honest, off the line isnt really what i am talking about. my arguements arent really looking at the 100% throttle aspect. other people feel its important to them, especially in boost situations with the RA. but in my case, speaking from personal experience. the CVT has a programing issue with the bias to much on fuel economy. So in a sense the CVT is programed to work against you in non 100% throttle situations.

the benefits are similar between the CVT and the SST, but the benefit is more profound. What am I talking about. I would say the best benefit would be overtaking, cornering. There are other guys that own the sprintbooster that can talk more about the SST benefit and the 5 speed manual benefit.

Next month, there is going to be some lapping trials down in Cali testing this and the next generation of SB. Going to check it out when i visit the states.

 

Since no one likes off topic threads, lets keep this thread related to the track. There will be more then enough time to discuss sprintbooster.


No need to buy it, I will uninstall mine and you try it. then decide. cost is really irrelevant. cost is cost. an injen intake was 450 when it first came out, today its 250, sometimes less. Cat backs are expensive as well. Value judgements are eye of the beholder. And everyone is entitled, but for what ever the mod, its really up to you if you want it enough.



thanks for the compliment

but in all honestly, I own one, i know first hand what it can and cant do, and i recommend it to others. what else do you want to make of it. If you think i am wrong fine, you made your point. and knowing is half the battle

 

All this from someone who calls his DWs 'Sticky' tires, that'll be used on the track.

 

lol and????
Have you driven them??? The DW is tire designed for maximum grap for dry and wet. Hense the DW. so in that category i would say its pretty sticky. Dude the tire has been tested by serious mags, and serious reviewers, and more recently driven by myself. The point I am trying to make is, I tested it.

 

LOL AND????))))))))))((((((((((((((((()))))))

Have you driven Rcomps or Slicks)()) Sure, they're a great street tire, but seriously thinking that they'll do any good on the road course is a joke. I'm sorry, but you just can't put sticky, track, and the DWs together.

 

matter a fact i have and i have a great respect for dedicated track tires. most guys that are hard core track own tires appropriate for the event they are racing in. its practical to have dedicated track tires for the track. to drive those tires in anything but dry track isnt smart.

i have drive track before and now i will be get more involved with those types of tires, but i stick to what i know and what i have driven on.

getting to the dw. it almost sounds like ur judging its ability by its tread rating alone. there is more to a tire than that.

anyways. lancersoul. i look forward to seeing u at the track event

 

Will be there.

as long as it's not Cayuga... I'm up for Both of the Mosport tracks and Shanny!

 

haha true ... once i get a chance to come to one of the meet for the first time ill love to try it out and see how it is... snice u own one you have first hand exp on what it can or cant do
