There can't be, since all this device does is lie about how far you pushed the gas pedal. It can't lie past 100%.

I just test drove an IS350 with the Tom's version (which is the same), last night.

Basically it feels like Sport Mode, but X10...

For explanation purposes I will describe SP3.

SP3- It is the most responsive setting. The accelerator response is lighting fast..
As soon as you start to press the gas pedal the car is just about jumping or lurching forward..

I actually said "WoW", when I barely touched the gas pedal...

Overall, it gives you a quicker response with less pedal pushing and wait time... on initial launch... or cruising..

It's an interesting little gadget...

Would you not get the exact same result on a stock 350 just having pushed the pedal further instead of just barely touching it?

Because as near as I can tell all this thing does is lie about how far you pushed the gas to the ECU. (and the higher the setting the bigger the lie it tells)

I wouldn't say lie...
I would say if anything shortens the response time... (more than a human could do)

Like I mentioned.. Sport mode ON (but X 10)

There is more info in this thread....

how much does this gadget go for?
so basically it makes your engine more responsive at the slightest touch, making it feel as if the engine was a bigger and had more low end torque than it really does?

I agrees with Joe Z. I actually said "WOW" too after the installation. I never thought it could feel the different. It is more fun to drive with this device
