I just saw it on eBay for 329. I looked into it before but didn't find the SB, just some switch they wanted 500 bucks for and the interface wasn't as clean as the SB. What irritated me was that you have to activate the booster every time you get in the car, just one more button to punch.

I've been trying to achieve the same effect with a freer flow exhaust system and it does cut the response time but certainly not as much as the boost would.

Hope one of our guinea pigs here will try it! Oh Infinirx...

There's been quite a bit of talk about throttle controllers on the GS forum.

Also a few cheaper alternatives.

Personally I don't see the point in a daily cruiser, but that's just me.

You can do this in the engine bay prob. allot easier. I forget the details but you just adjust the throttle connected to the pedal and wallah! I did it with my xA and the old lady pedal was gone!
