installing sprint booster help

Hi Ya'll! I just got my sprint booster in the mailbox today, and when i went to do the easy install, i realised that I cant get my hands behind the throttle to install it> anyone got the trick to removing the gas pedal so I can get my hands back there?? or how to shrink down to the size of a mosquito to get back there??!! anything helps! Wanna try this thing out!! Thanx in advance

In case you read this before you check your PM's, you just have to push down that little tab at the bottom as you slide the pedal away from the center console. You will have to get it to clear two catches, so you'll have to push the tab down twice.

Or remove the pedal as shown in the Sprint Booster instructions. Here's a link:

Thanks (?) for putting Sprint Booster on my radar, too!

Hey, the more the merrier!! Hopefully we'll see you, but if not I suppose you have a valid excuse.

Quick question (that I had hoped to check out in person tomorrow): Where did you end up stashing the remote for the SB?
