True, although when my wife picked up the mail, and looked inside the box - she said "HOW much was this again?"
It's veryy difficult to justify spending $300 on a 3 inch long piece of wire

so if i understand right, you dont actually get more power, right? you just dont have to push the pedal as far, to go??
That's pretty much the concept as I understand it, although I think it changes the initial signal sent to the ECU, hence getting rid of the 'lag'. I'd say you have to drive with it to appreciate the impact.

Okay, I'll bite.

Is SB for autos, or can my manual benefit? Thanks.
