There are 36 programs in total (18 for manual transmissions and 18 for automatic transmissions).

The device will then automatically adjust the programs according the type of transmission selected.

Sprint Booster modes and programs are transmission type specific for better function and performance. Works for Both Automatic and Manual Transmissions: By selecting the desired acceleration program in each mode, the driver can fine-tune each mode per their driving style (e.g. The acceleration programs can be changed using the two arrow buttons on the top of the device. Select 1-9 in SPORT mode and 1-9 in RACE mode, with '1' being the least aggressive program and '9' the most aggressive.

The three main acceleration modes can be switched by pressing the main button. It does not affect other systems such as electronic injection, ABS, etc. It's a simple installation, requiring no cutting of any wires or interference of the automobile's electronics. The Sprint Booster aims to overcome this throttle response delay for ETC-equipped vehicles, providing crisp on-tap acceleration at the driver's disposal.įor vehicles with electronic control (ETC) systems, or drive by wire, this device plugs into the OE connector located behind the accelerator pedal. The ETC system (Electronic Throttle Control), also known as drive-by-wire, has the unfortunate downside of delayed throttle response and subdued acceleration, creating problems in certain circumstances such as up-hill starts, quick gear changes, overtaking, etc. Automobiles in the 21st century have replaced the more conventional throttle cable technology for an ECM (Electronic Control Module) that translates pedal travel into electronic signals in order to provide power to the wheels.
