Ok, I guess I don't understand how this thing works. The tables I've seen show it increasing the amount of throttle opening for a given pedal position, but WOT is still WOT, just occurring earlier than without the booster. If you were to simply floor the gas, the time spent at less than WOT is very small. I just don't see how it would make so much of a difference that someone could blow the doors off a similarly modded car.

Yes, it's snake oil. It quickens up the throttle by compressing its output.

Also, street racing posts are against the rules, so there's that.
