Claims.....
I don't think anybody would object to a review of a mod that you, personally, have found worthwhile - the problem arises when the title reads like this one "The ONLY proven mod that improves low-end torque......"
....that is a title just begging to be refuted.

Hi all, just want to make it clear that i have absolutely no fiduciary or vested interests in the product, or with any of the retailers carrying it. My sole interest in doing this, as with my other reviews is for the good and benefit of the Singapore RX8 community. heck my reviews site doesn't even have Google Ads so i dun earn a single cent.
I'll post my FC impressions shortly - let me get thru one tank first lah.
Again, this mod DOES NOT improve HP at all. But whatever it is, launches from standstill is so much faster that it SEEMS as though torque has improved. Whether or not this is accurate demands a dyno - perhaps the retailer can help in this respect and post some dyno charts?
Whether or not i can save $400 and just train my feet to fully depress the pedal is one thing . What's more important for me is the fun factor i derive from my ride and with this, the car is really responsive, gear changes are much faster - and it def is a better drive.

Guess if anyone is curious, go try it out before posting all the nonsense (almost 5 pages and counting...).
Aren't we all trying to get the best out of our rides? And thank you gfoo for the review.
If this forum is just a outlet for you to BS and suan, "sighs"... get a life!

I just installed the sprint booster today and I have only one word for it...Awesome.
I thoroughly enjoyed this little matchbox mod...and I think all you skeptics out there should give it a try on your car before making any judgement...cos it doesn't matter whether or not you like the logic behind this tiny box...I'm still very confident that most of you will not bear to dismantle it, after taking it out for a ride.
Well...my car is also available for test-drive, just to share with you guys what this interesting mod is all about...and if you don't happen to like it...well, u can just keep your mouth shut and laugh at me behind my back...i don't really care. Bottomline is simple...I'm happy with it and it's $$$ well spent....in Hokkien, it's called "GUM WAN"...
Thanks for the review gfoo...I appreciate your posts and your little website.

Saying it increased torque in your title set the tone for the rest of the thread.

to me, it's a gadget that allows modification to throttle response, similar to that of brake stopper (doesnt improve braking distance but improve responsiveness). some like it more responsive, some not: it's an individual preference. that's one reason why cars are mostly driven-by-wire: room for modification to suit one's preference.
also, think no one deserves so much bashing over a misrepresentation. Oh ya, gfoo: would like to also thank you for the efforts in making the post! very informative.
