Some basic calculus on the past x seconds of throttle input voltage could tell this little device quite a bit.

Who knows?
From watching the videos and reading the descriptions I'm pretty certain that neither the SprintBooster or the Blitz have any intelligence. One video just shows a driver holding the throttle at a fixed position and then it progressively revs higher as he changes modes. This confirms that it is simply increasing voltage by a fixed percentage when the input is in a certain range.

I do have to congratulate Mini Mania on slick packaging and good marketing. Some people certainly like the feel of the more aggressively mapped pedal, and the fact that they are able to sell these at this price is impressive. I'm sure there will be a Taiwanese knockoff hitting the streets in a year or two for $99.
