Never heard of the Sprint, only have had the PC. I like the PC because it has a lot of options. Don't like that you generally have to be stopped to make a change. But that is probably the case for any other throttle controller. Con is probably the price, they just had a big Easter Sale.[/
This is a video of the Sprint booster.

Hey, what do you mean have to stop to make a change? When I used my PC w/Bluetooth, I could switch either on the unit or phone.Never heard of the Sprint, only have had the PC.

They do say not to change while accelerating or basically while foot is on the gas. So I let off gas, change setting while coasting, then push the skinny pedal.Hey, what do you mean have to stop to make a change? When I used my PC w/Bluetooth, I could switch either on the unit or phone.
Gotcha, IMHOThey do say not to change while accelerating or basically while foot is on the gas. So I let off gas, change setting while coasting, then push the skinny pedal.

You might be expecting too much from PC. It's a decent upgrade for small money. It only changes the 'elect throttle' response. It doesn't actually change performance. Plus, not sure why you'd need to make changes w/o at least letting off the pedal.
I liked my PC when I had it. I have since moved into a true tuner.
I think this may depend on speed or position of throttle when doing it. I tried doing it while driving 80kms twice and both times I got a check engine light (throttle position). I then was curious if this what has been mentioned here and tried 4 times while driving 10-40 kms and I didn’t have an issue. I too also have the Bluetooth and use it all the time instead of pushing buttons. That has been my experience and usually keep mine on Sport +4 and never touch it. I haven’t had any issues since the first go around. I did try this after the fact of having the check engine lights twice in a row.Hey, what do you mean have to stop to make a change?

I think you might have misread my comment. The PC is only a throttle position 'change'. The truck's (most new cars) have electronic throttles. All the PC does is 'change' the throttles position. It fools the driver in thinking the have a better running truck. The PC does nothing for a performance... Only a tuner changes performance.A "true tuner" does not do what PC does. A PC is not a tuner. I have a Diablo Trinity T2 with HEMI Fever tuning. The T2 allows you to adjust the throttle sensitivity up to 30% I believe. Meanwhile the PC has some 36 settings or something like that. So more options, and able to change relatively "on the fly". Someone pulls up to you at a red light, quick change and boom instant throttle response.
I believe that you have to stop to make a change because otherwise you will throw a code. Some people's trucks have gone into limp mode. Plenty of threads on this, use search function. I had some weirdness on mine when I first installed my PC but no problems since.

I have the Banks Derringer w/i8 gage. I did have the PC, which I enjoyed - but I wanted performance and fuel changes.
