I checked out the Rennlist post. There are some wrong impressions people are getting from this product though. It increases the throttle response - that's all. No more torque, no more low end torque, no faster acceleration, no better track performance. I can get 100% exactly the same effect by simply putting my foot down and giving the car more throttle.

If you buy one and enjoy it, GREAT! But it's just a "feel" thing. It makes the throttle feel different, but the overall performance is exactly the same. I'm just trying to clarify based on some of the comments (not by Jwade) on Rennlist. I think people should know exactly what this device does and does not do.

Theoretically the acceleration time could be a few milliseconds quicker, as with the Sprint Booster you only need to depress the gas pedal 75% to get full throttle. It will take me, with my stock car, 0.0156 seconds longer to push the pedal all the way to the floor. However, there's little doubt that someone who knows how to properly launch a Boxster could make up 100X that loss by simply getting out of the hole quicker. With the SB I think you'd have a more difficult time feathering the throttle to control clutch and tire slip.

Personally I think you can gain a LOT more by simply learning how to drive your car well and aggressively if you want to use more of the power that your car has. I think for most people the money for a SB would be better spent on a driver's education course, autocrosses, or simply drag strip time as that will teach you better how to use the perfectly fine throttle that's stock to give the right amount of throttle out of a turn and how to work the traction to get off the line the fastest... But that's a different approach - improving skill rather than changing the "feel". To each their own, whatever works for you.
