I don't get all this SB hype. Do all of you have fused ankles that prohibit you from quickly stomping on the gas pedal? The only thing i can think of that would make it actually usefull is if it bumped up the voltage to the servo to alow the actuator open faster then currently possible even if you Sebian Glover. But still $300 is a lot of dougth for 0 net horsepower increase. Has anyone drag strip tested it for 60' time improvements?
that statement could only come from someone who wares blinkers.
you cant "stomp" on the gas pedal over 10 times quicker than normal hard acceleration, but thats what the SB does.

try it you would eat your words

leather electric seats do nothing for 0-60 times either...but i bet you would rather have them over cloth...its the same for the SB...i could not do without mine.

aftermarket subs that fit into the original OEM housing of the stock subs...you have to wire in an amp though

I need statistical data. The phrase "normal hard acceleration" is subjective and open to interpretation. But for arguments sake lets just say the SB is 10x faster then your average experienced bracket racer. Is the factory servo for the butterfly valve able to move 10x faster then it normally would under hard acceleration? I understand the importance of the concept. I have always used aftermarket throttles on my race bikes.

My Recaros are cloth and i would not have them any other way Well, maybe alcantara. My fianc?'s heated seats caught on fire so we will never get heated seats again. Luckily she was wearing a wool coat and did not suffer any major injuries.

Definitely SB!

But then again, I'm not that fond of subwoofers in cars--gives me a headache.
