So is level 3 equivalent to SB and 4 higher on the ladder or SB = level 4??

Level three seems really close to the SB. level 4 is even more pronounced and amplified. it took me a moment to adjust to how fast the throttle responds in level 4. almost twitchy. It would be best if your wearing a show that gives you a lot of feel/ control of the pedal. I wouldn't try it if i was wearing "shit kickers" like Calvin

This is a very interesting product. I just installed a sprintbooster this past weekend and now I wish I had heard of this device before. My sprintbooster install was a bit tricky as it took me a while to get the SB hid in a spot where the pedal assembly would slide back on. This looks like an easier install and then you have the added bonus of control. I would love to be able to control how much I'm boosting and to be able to turn it off with females in the car.

There may be a 1 week old sprintbooster for sale in the classifieds soon...

Who's gonna be the first one in SoCal to get one so I can test it? LOL

Based on the information in this thread, I think the Velocity may be the way to go...SB for sale, anyone, anyone?

PYP..what's the turnaround timeframe on getting a Velocity?

I like it a lot. The car seems sooo much more responsive. The adjustability is great. I was running with a setting of 3 most of the time in the fall and I toned it down to a 2 for the winter. If I remember, I also reduce the setting when my wife is borrowing the car.
