item...I smiled and made a run for the back of the store..........

problem with it was that the multiplier angle is steep, so even the 'sport' map is pretty
aggressive. had to learn the throttle curve on my right foot again, but after getting that
down, i luv the instant throttle response to my inputs.

i can tap the gas even a little bit, and the throttle immediately responds.
and it seems to keep the ecu out of economy mode even after cruising down a 55mph
road for 5-10min. that was the last piece of the puzzle for me on my Z.

wtf mang, there was a HUGE stall-less urinal at the back of the building.

In the case of the Lake Tahoe stop the station clerk had a name badge..
I believe it read "Raj Deli Wellie on Board"................

wat it does is it takes the voltage from the gas pedal and multiplies the voltage so that it gives
larger voltage output than wat you're putting in.

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
