I copied and pasted the description from their website:
Function
The Sprint Booster might very well be the ?smartest? gadget on your car.
It is a device that improves acceleration by continuously measuring and converting the digital signal provided by the ECT?s potentiometer, and providing the ECM with a new and altered signal.
What is Sprintbooster
Automobiles in the 21st century have replaced the more conventional throttle cable technology for an ECM (Electronic Control Module) that translates pedal travel into electronic signals in order to provide power to the wheels.
The ECT system (Electronic Throttle Control) ? also known as drive-by-wire ? has the unfortunate downside of delayed throttle response and subdued acceleration, creating problems in certain circumstances such as up-hill starts, quick gearchanges, overtaking, etc.
The Sprint Booster aims to overcome this throttle response delay for ECT-equipped vehicles, providing crisp on-tap acceleration at the driverʼs disposal.
I had also organized a group buy for this from PartsExporter for $250 shipped but it's over. You might still be able to get it from them for $300 shipped. Contact sale@partsexporter.com. They also have an eBay store.

That's right, it filets, it chops
It dices, slices, never stops
lasts a lifetime, mows your lawn
And it mows your lawn
and it picks up the kids from school
It gets rid of unwanted facial hair
it gets rid of embarrassing age spots
It delivers a pizza
and it lengthens, and it strengthens
And it finds that slipper that's been at large
under the chaise longe for several weeks
And it plays a mean Rhythm Master
It makes excuses for unwanted lipstick on your collar
And it's only a dollar, step right up
it's only a dollar, step right up
