When you put pressure on the pedal, you should get an immediate response from the engine. There is a noticable delay in the throttle by wire verses the old style direct linkage systems. The SB compresses that time by increasing the initial voltage. The response to the foot pressure is quicker, noticably quicker.

To suggest otherwise is only possible if your assesment is not impartial or you haven't actually tested it in the real application on the car.

Since I've never known you to be reckless with the truth, I will assume it is the latter.

My English humour (humor) gets the better of me at times, sarcasm, puns and dry wit comes quite easy, it gets me into a lot of trouble. I can laugh at Monty Python, how sad is that?

All that aside I have to wait until a bright spark (humor) like BrianBrave comes up with a $20-30 SB so that I can make one and try it. In all honesty I cannot see why I should spend $300 to save my foot from traveling another 1/2" using the same pressure, it is about the only exercise I get.

I stand by my assertion that the $300 would be better spent adding it to the cost of a CAI. The air from a standard intake/filter housing would not supply the needs of a horse in the Kentucky Derby, let alone 215 horses.
