IIRC, you can have more than one throttle pedal response curve/table and can select from them using the steering wheel controls without taking your eyes off the road.

If you are happy with your booster, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.

I want to thank all the responses but on a side note I did a local inquiry on tuning the vehicle here in my neck of the woods and I have had friends bring their vehicles for other issues and have nothing good to say about them, therefore my hesitation in bringing the Z and placing my trust in them. Possibly because there are few places that say they "tune" but I think they should advertise as "tune-ups". I called one for "ha-has" and asked the cost and the minute they heard me say Z..." ahh it all depends on the time it can cost you from 350 to 550 depending. on how long it takes...blah blah.."
I didn't have faith in them and I wasn't sure what they would do or what I wanted them to do. YouTube had a few videos on the booster so I went with that mod. So on that note I'm glad to belong to this site

If you live in westfield mass then you should call Rich at RDZ motorsports in Danbury CT for a tune. He literally specializes in Z cars from the z32 to z34.

He tuned my car multiple times (when I made mod changes) and has been great each time.

It seems that you just called the wrong tuner.

So after having this unit, I still like the results overall. I now have more fun driving the vehicle, meaning I can baby it and make it a monster by pressing one button. One thing I noticed is that it works better if you turn off the stability control, on the negative side I went from 21 mpg to 16 mpg and it's because now I drive it as I stole it, maybe doing the muffler delete has something to do with it but, really I feel that I have another vehicle since I bought the Booster...

I saw that you sold your Sprint Booster in the classifieds here, did you decide to get a tune instead?
