It eliminates the "lag" in the pedal so acceleration is increased instantly.

I just ordered mine today, i will post my set up as soon as I receive and install it.

I am curious about people's experiences with the Velocity unit.

My experience with the SB in my Steptronic-equipped car is that it does not totally eliminate the throttle delay lag but shortens it and dramatically increases power once it comes on (it has no effect on the car's actual power output from the engine but gives a stronger throttle signal to the engine than OEM throttle at the same level of throttle application.

The best feature is the "OFF" button. So, my wife wouldn't crash into anything by accident.
