Hmmm, I read the description of the Sprintbooster on their website & came to the same conclusion. I though about one, then just installed a wedge between the base of the pedal & the firewall. This made the pedal 'feel' livelier, just like the Sprintbooster AND brought the accelerator up just about even with the brake and clutch. So now I can heel & toe again.

Been meaning to do that myself for a long while (cut the block and all) but could never get the damn studs out of the base plate.

Neither could I. I used some angle alloy & used it attached to the firewall with the studs, then some small nuts/bolts to attach the pedal to the bracket. All good!

For those who cant be bothered reading all 13 pages of technical waffle (which I actually found quite interesting! - god I am boring...) here is his conclusion:



What I will add is this is exactly the result I predicted
I agree 100% that it is only a feel thing, but it feels soooo good haha and like I said before I also agree on the price.

If you are electronics engineer, how are you at reverse engineering?? could be room in the market for a seacomms booster at half the price (not a seacomms lump of wood haha)
