so say for example you are stepping on the gas linearly like this:
1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4v

the output from the sprint booster would be like 1, 1.75, 2.5, 3.25, 4v
At least you understand how it works. I remember looking at this product a long time ago because a few people were claiming it was the same as a tune (like with increased hp and everything). I was really interested, but then I got really when I found out it was just upping the voltage input for the throttle. Looking back now, I think it would have done mostly what I wanted (minus a valet mode), but I was just too pissed off at these idiots to even consider the product. In the end, I'm better off where I am because I got my tune for just the cost of the license, which is about the cost of a used sprint booster ($175).

The stock throttle is mind-blowingly laggy whenever I drive Ms. Pint's 7AT
