from what has been documented ever since electronic throttles became instituted in just about everything, the real culprit is the time it takes for voltage to be sent from pedal to the ecu to the throttle body to the TPS to the ecu to the injectors, so on and so forth. ET's add extra time to the mix unlike cables that are as close to instant as you can get.

this same idea can be seen clear as day if you hook a volt meter or gauge to your battery and start the car. the meter will read 13.5-7 or so. now have someone rev the motor, and watch the meter or gauge go up to 14.2-7. the jump isn't instant, it climbs, not slowly, but slower than instantly. the increased rpms spin the electromagnets in side the alternator faster, but voltage still has to be transferred.

it seems like this sprint thingy speeds up the process by increasing voltage, making the lag less noticeable.
