item...I smiled and made a run for the back of the store..........

:bowrofl::roflpuke2::bowrofl:

You are a bigger gentleman than I because my answer to this has always been to leave the store, go around back and relieve myself there.

down, i luv the instant throttle response to my inputs. :D

i can tap the gas even a little bit, and the throttle immediately responds.
and it seems to keep the ecu out of economy mode even after cruising down a 55mph
road for 5-10min. :D that was the last piece of the puzzle for me on my Z.

It does not sound like playing to me...I have grasped 10% of what you posted
Doctor Kenchan...............

In the case of the Lake Tahoe stop the station clerk had a name badge..
I believe it read "Raj Deli Wellie on Board"................

oh, it's a plug and play throttle controller that plugs in between the gas pedal and the harness going to the ECU.

wat it does is it takes the voltage from the gas pedal and multiplies the voltage so that it gives
larger voltage output than wat you're putting in.

so say for example you are stepping on the gas linearly like this:
1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4v

the output from the sprint booster would be like 1, 1.75, 2.5, 3.25, 4v

Thank you this time maybe at most 15% was grasped Dr Kenchan....

ECU = I'm sure I have one of those.....

ECU = engine control unit

bascially the brain that translates your inputs to computer lanugage for the car to understand. :D

The ECU is the thing that gets fried when a thermonuclear device detonates close and high enough to create EMP (electromagnetic pulse) rendering your Z inoperative. That is why I keep my 1971 240Z in good running order. No electronics = freedom of travel in the post apocalyptic world.
