I am hoping Seb at SpecialtyZ will be able to perk it up a bit but if I feel that it still needs to be sharpened up, I will get the SprintBooster without a doubt.

For those who bought it; have you tried it on the most aggressive setting? Does it make the throttle extremely sensitive?

from all the reviews they say its extremely sensitive. but you get used to it

I am going to talk to Nissan about this after this weekend. I almost got T-boned today due to near zero response for a full second+. Like others have stated, it tends to be ok toward the beginning, but half way through my trip it starts really lacking low end. I have 6MT, TC was OFF, outside temp 94F (approx). Oil was 220F.
This could be a SERIOUS safety issue. Especially if it's fine (or not terrible) at one instant, then DEAD in another. If I ease on the pedal, it actually responds better than if I stomp it. But when there is oncoming traffic, your gut is to stomp... not the best idea.

Spot on, rolling into the throttle yields the best results. If you floor it immediately, it has a bit of hesitation as if it is thinking about going and then it takes off. I don't feel it as much above 4k rpm but low down is aweful.

Yep and yep. I agree with the 4k RPM.
