If we both would hammer it from a dead stop. My vehicle would throw out more power quicker and sooner at what ever percentage of downpress I have on my peddle then youes would even if we have the same % downpress applied to the peddle. Hence, I would out launch you through every gear.

You're correct if the gas pedal on both cars is pressed down at the same rate. From the other thread, there's a better explanation of what it does. http://peony888.com/VS/SprintBooster.pdf

I can see it having a noticeable difference in part throttle applications. My issue is when you say something like "if we both hammer it from a dead stop", implying you're just going WOT as fast as possible. How long does it take to go from 0% pedal to 100%? It's less than a second. That doesn't allow a great deal of time to out accelerate the other car. I get that the people who are using this swear by it. I'm just saying that the device is basically amplifying the signal from the pedal by about 30%. If the same hypothetical car next to you was pressing the pedal 30% more than you at the same time, response would be equal. Also, from the white paper, the throttle pedal will be sending the car a WOT signal at around 2/3 travel, so the pedal ends up feeling "dead" above that. Their words, not mine.
