slkfans may have a better idea as I believe he has purchased these before. I presume at least 2 weeks from tomorrow unless I hear otherwise.

I'll keep everyone up to date.

After pulling over I noticed that the tach was still indicating RPMs but no response with the accelerator pedal. Turn the key off and restart and everything is fine. So I get home uninstall the sprint booster and take the car for another spin and everything's back to normal so I guess the sprint boosters the problem. I hope that they will exchange this one or have some kind of solution for the problem.
I received my replacement sprint booster today, installed it and went for a ride and everything is fine-no problems of any kind. I love this thing!!! Everyone on this next group buy will absolutely love it. It is like a night and day difference and I think I even notice a bit of a difference in the response in the higher speeds. It was money well spent. Oh did I say how much I love this thing!!!

Mr. Boulekos includes their shipping and other fees in his quote, so the only amount left to come out is the USPS shipping and packaging for everyone. (Unless there is a duty/customs cost).

I'll post again when I receive the units.
I love you and I want to have your baby...

In the most heterosexual way possible, obviously.

Okay... that's WAY too much information.

I'll let your wife/girlfriend be a proxy if you want?

Just kidding ... but remember who started this...

Well that would just be overly appreciative and you would know it was an empty gesture.

Besides, I never let her out of the attic...

Well first I bought my SB off eBay for $250 delivered to my house. Arrived in 3 days, super fast. Installed it and WOW unbelievable. I feel like I just traded for SRT6 set up. At least off the line. Its raining here and with wet roads if I give it the gas from a stand still my 20" rears spin and traction control comes on. I would have no problem in recommending the purchase from this guy: http://www.slkfans.com/. I have now over 1,100 transactions and can tell you this guy is above board and a stand up guy. This is a better mod than my last car I used a tuner on. Best $250 you can spend.
I also did not remove the nut on installation. I tried but could not get it. I removed the console side panel (two phillips screws) and then just unplugged it at the top of the pedal and plugged the SB in. Put the side panel back on and in 10 minutes I was having a ball on the road.

Mr Krivohlavek,

Best Regards,

Stamatis
Here's the latest update... I guess I better get the boxes and labels organized.

nah, maybe if it was $170,000 he would skip town, but $7,000 just ain't worth it.

LOL looks like we are doing a good job killing time before the SB arrives.

Imagine what mods he could do to his SRT-6 with all that $$ whopping $7,000!!

I do have a set of rims and tires in mind, but I won't be getting those until late this month or early October. Those will only cost me about $2,100 out the door.

I still have a set of pulleys to acquire and an upsolute upgrade to perform... sooo...

Thumbs up Re: Sprint Booster - A "Must-have"!

I found one in eBay. The name of the product is Sprint Booster and the seller is rm_imports out of Spain. Can you tell me if this is the same product you're describing? It has pictures, and the cost is $295.51 US, plus 19.50 GBP for shipping. The guy takes paypal.

Thanks.
