A sport button can not cause revs to rise in a manual transmission, unless you mean that the engine revs faster in neutral or accelerates faster.

Tell me about sport mode with the manual transmission.

I added a sprint booster to my 2.3/7MT since the Badlands didn’t provide sport mode. Best mod I’ve done. As others have said, the throttle sensitivity makes a big difference. Best feature of the sprint booster - my wife like a medium setting in “sport” mode on the booster, while I prefer a higher setting (out of 9 possible) in “race” mode.
I have sport mode in my F150 and the sprint booster, IMO, provides further performance gains than what Ford provides. No regrets on my purchase.
Just an FYI for the Badlands people out there…

increases accelerator pedal response and provides a sportier steering feel.

Does it hurt MPG much?

I switch back to 2H when I’m in sportmode. Works just fine

I'd love to see someone actually do some real dyno testing with sport mode on 7MT instead of relying completely on butt dynos, lol.
I don’t think it makes any difference in output. It just “steepens” the throttle curve. Makes a big difference in my butts opinion. I use it always.

Maybe I should say shortens the throttle throw. I think you could achieve the same net feel by mashing the throttle deeper. I don’t think it would change the actual HP/Torque-rpm curve.That's why there's a plot of power curve on a dyno, not just a peak number
Yes use it all the time. I don't have the advanced 4x4 only standard 4H so it doesn't require you to turn off 4x4. Only changes steering feel and throttle response on mine.

My guess is sport mode changes the amount of boost throughout the RPM range more than anything else. More boost, more lower RPM power.
My goal is less boost and higher RPMs, so I keep it in the standard mode.
I find the power of the 2.3L more than adequate as is.

I set my F150 to 4A about 110k miles ago and haven't look back since. Both our BL's will be set to 4A as well without any concerns.
As far as Sport in a manual, it is not needed but does change the pedal and steering feel. I consider manuals to be self-Sport.
Right, I think the 4A is basically all wheel drive? Like a Subaru. You can drive in all wheel drive, doesn't hurt anything. It's not like 4H or 4L. But I disagree on the sport mode in my manual. I just feel like she takes off faster, and I get more response from the turbo without having to stomp on the pedal. I love it.

No. No wastegate changes.
I haven't tried out Sport mode yet. I am afraid I will love it and never want to go back to normal. Will probably give it try later this week if it really warms up above 40. I live in a mountain area and that boost of power I think will be addictive on the steep hills I travel daily to get back home.
