HOLY SHITTE!!!

Where do I start??? The information that Paul gathered from Boulekos during the ordering process was most valuable. There are two flavors of this thing: one for manual that can only be installed with manual transmissions, and one for automatic that can be installed with either the automatic or manual transmission (sort of a lite version for the manual). Well, being a little leery, and wanting to maintain drivability, I decided to go with the one for automatics. Took 15 minutes to install as Paul said.

Backed out of the garage & driveway, shifted to first and it was like being shot out of a cannon!!! 2nd gear was the same!!! Got to the stop sign, pulled out on the highway...and I almost immediately turned around to go back and uninstall it, as it was nearly undriveable. People joke about the car looking like a dog squatting...well if you want to make it squat, and I mean RIGHT NOW, ON DEMAND...then this is the thing that will make it do it. Anyway, I decided to take a little drive through town and find as many stop signs/lights as I could. After about 5 minutes of learning how to re-drive my car, it started to feel pretty good as I learned to control it. THE ONLY WAY I CAN DESCRIBE IT IS...ALL OF THE HORSEPOWER AND ALL OF THE TORQUE...IS THERE FROM IDLE TO 4,000 RPM. After that, there is no difference than before. You definitely have to learn how to drive this thing all over again. The lightest touch on the accelerator will launch you immediately...there is no delay. Cruising on the highway, and in the higher gears, you will notice no difference at all. Shifting is easier and much smoother...with no hesitation in acceleration/deceleration.

I cannot even imagine what the manual version must be like. I'm so glad that I got the automatic version because anything more would be INSANE!!! It is going to take more getting used to, and I fear getting stuck in traffic for a while. I will add more comments in a week or two as I get a chance to experience this device in all situations.
