That's what I experienced and that's what I'll report. Have you tried SB Craigm1841?

No. I have not. I am not for/against it by any means. After researching it and finding that it merely changes the throttle response which could be fixed by having a heavier foot, I have lost the desire to get one. That said, I dont see the point in purchasing one. I am also indifferent about whether I even care to try one. My left foot has never been shy. If i want to, i will floor the car from every stop light and not think twice about it.

i am still convinced you can get the same effect as an SB by pressing the gas pedal harder. regardless of SB or no SB, if you floor the car you will get the same result, no? isnt the SB a false sense of "quickness" kind of like rewiring your blender so "mix" now works as fast as "blend"
+1

I think someone needs to loan me and craigm a SB so we'll shut up about it. ;)

Default Most definitely works for me.

Went from steady 15mpg to steady 16mpg. 1mpg matters at these low numbers!
I don't even understand how this thing works without getting into the ECU, but it works for me.
