They're talking about this on the 996 forum on 6speed too. My input after looking at graphs showing what this does is this - all this does is increase the throttle response by 25%. At 1/4 throttle this modifies the signal from the gas pedal to really give you 50% throttle. At 50% throttle you're at 75% throttle at 75% throttle and up you're at 100% throttle.

What's the point? All it does is make the throttle more sensitive. If I want more throttle I'll just put my foot down more. The effect is exactly the same and MUCH cheaper.

This product is for morons who will install it, notice that they go faster with less gas pedal movement and get all excited that it "feels" like they have more power. Pure snake oil for the uninformed.
