Which state are you looking in for a tester?

No email I don't think. Just wait for your probation period to end

im kinda looking forward to this. I drive an older nissan altima 98 to work and my tl is my weekend car and after work around the city... The Tl obviously a much better car of course, better to drive feels better i mean i dont have to explain but one thing bothers me which i love with my altima is that the TL gas pedal response sucks. especially i feel it cause i get to compare it back to back.

so ill be one of the first ones to get this if it helps.

I ran the Sprint Booster in my RidgeLines because of the sluugish pedal and it gave a real improvement in the overall feel of the truck. Allot of people thought we were nuts for dropping $300 but the difference in responsiveness made it the fun to drive the truck. I know it didn't do anything to the hp or torque, and I could have just pushed farther down on the gas pedal. The Sprintbooster only increased the pedal sensitivty, this unit has three modes...pretty cool. I would consider something like this in my 4G TL, except the swith box would sh*t up the cabin. Too bad they don't come up with a better looking interface.

I also thought about the sprint booster but $300 was a little to much for what it does. I know that it doesn't add horsepower and such and i know that it doesn't make my car faster but if its gonna make it feel a little more responsive and eliminate the feeling that i gotta force my car to get going then i am liking it a lot ....

I wouldnt mind testing it as long as its a plug and play unit that way whenever I get a chance to go to the track see if it makes that much of a difference. Interesting concept with the 3 modes. I am in Dallas btw.

I tried every bolt on trick available on the Ridgeline. Two different catbacks, Intake, T/B spacer, high flow cats. Every thing had a negative offset for the positive it did. The SB was the only thing that gave the truck obvious responsiveness improvements.

Get to keep the testing kit, of course.
We need some one that's a bit electronic savvy. You need to know where to locate the connector above the gas pedal in order to put in our harness.

This diagram shows how the T/C kit plugs in

Panson

That's why we are promoting the kit half less than SB, and adding more selection on response mode to make it not just a feel mod, but a convenient mod that you can use to cope w/ different condition on road.

3 modes and actually 12 different steps from Eco1-5 to Sports 1-7 should satisfy different appetite for your driving.

I'm interested in using this on a Gen3 TL (I have a 2005 with 27k) I'm a Service Manager/Tech that can figure out how to install it if that helps. Seems like it would be worth the money if it works and passes the test of time.

the inconvenient thing in the TL is that the dbw module or accelerator controller is located under the hood not by the gas pedal.

not really inconvenient, just mean the harness will have to be extended and you'd have to run it through the firewall

just passed the probation period. Finally see pm function shown under my username.

We are located in Houston, TX. We can send out the kit for testing purpose to any state in US. (we still prefer someone near TX)

The most important thing is that you need to know how to get the harness hooked up to the stock accelerator connector.

Please pm us your name, car year, model, and engine spec and location to be a candidate.

Sincerely,
TWP

Still looking for tester....

Installation won't be that hard. Stock accelerator connection is under the hood at passenger side near strut tower. The difficult part is how to run wire through firewall to get the display module inside.

pm me if you are familiar and know how to do it.

TWP

keep us posted, huh. Reading on some of the other forums,this seems promising. Not a whole lot on eco setting though, mostly on sport settings.
