YOU get an instant throttle just like the old days of a throttle linkage. Today they tame the throttle down thru the throttle position sensor. Giving you a lag in response. It all can't be tuned out, but by adding another electronic device, it can be manipulated into giving almost 100% throttle. The more HP you have the more response you will get. I even breath on mine and we have traction issues. Not what you would want in winter...but, you can get adjustable SB's...and you can use your winter mode....
