I'm not sure. It's just everyday driving, and it doesn't involve hard driving. I drive home from work, and when I get close to home it feels like there's no power at times. Like if I accelerate in 2nd with moderate throttle and let it rev up past 4k, I can feel the engine holding back and not accelerating as hard. If I progressively press the pedal down to the floor it doesn't lunge forward and push me back to the seat.

It'll be nice for someone who has a similar experience can test to see if SB actually does anything after a long day of driving.

Alright guys, I got a call back from my service dept. Apparently our cars cut power pretty early (before 220F). Nissan Tech-Line says the car actually cuts power because of oil temperature. It's not surprising, but it's disappointing because I thought the ECM would cut power after 220F.

As a personal preference, I'm fine without SB as the response isn't too bad when the car is under normal operating conditions. However, an oil cooler and moving to FI will offset this "power loss"

To those of you who have installed SB: Did it affect your gas mileage? Just curious...

I hear what you saying, but would be interested to know if anyone returned the SB?

I have an AT on the base model and find that to make a quick lane change or to pass a car on the highway, I have a lag then a surge in acceleration. NOT GOOD!!

for 300$ dude vs 1000$ for a tune and according to some members even with a tune they still get this crapy lag! im getting my Z tuned in spring and im keeping my SB. once in a while i turn it off to feel the difference and man im happy i got this lil gadget!
