SprintBooster

[Firebird]

I got the sbdo1053s sprdo029 in the mail Friday. Did quick install. Turned truck on and check engine, stability control lights came on and truck would idle, but the throttle would not work at all. I took it off and all was well. Maybe I didn't get the plug in far enough, will try again this afternoon.

Be sure to let us know the outcome please.

I installed mine last week. I had a little trouble getting the coupler to fully snap-in and got a check engine light because it wasn't fully seated. Once I got it fully seated I disconnected and reconnected the battery and all is good. I like the change in throttle response. I got it on sale during Black Friday for 230, and I am happy with the purchase. I run in race 6 right now but will be playing with settings to find the sweet spot.

LOL Well in fairness, I should probably turn it down some. Yesterday I took off from a stop sign with my wife in the car and accelerated like I used to before the SB (kinda forgot), and my wife grabbed for the handle and gave me a dirty look because it was a little aggressive on the takeoff.

I think I got the " R E A L L Y ??? Is that necessary??" The big grin on my face after probably didn't help things

Count me in on one of these , just installed about an hour ago . Truck is very responsive. Truck before this was an eco boost . The eco was tuned and I typically used the 93 tune ..... so coming from that to my crew can hemi is night and day .... I’m not saying that the hemi would ever stand a chance heads up , but with the booster it would def hang in there a lot longer. I’m running race 2 right now , very snappy , very responsive . Spins the 34’s very easily . Other than the throttle everything else is the same . Other than a down shift , it will down shift very quickly . Now if the Trans could have a quicker shift I’d be set.

If you put the truck in tow/haul mode it helps with the shift points a bit. I don't run it in that mode much, but occasionally to give it a sportier shift (up and down) that helps... I realize it will run the mile counter up in tow/haul, but that doesn't bother me much. tow/haul + SB race 5 = big grin

I also installed the SB yesterday. I like it so far. Def makes the truck feel more responsive. I like how it is adjustable.
