Default throttle lag

i usually dont come into the 5th gen section but i saw an amazing product on tv and thought id share

its called sprint booster and it reduces throttle lag and claims to install in 10 min

according to this page its only for the 5th gen but they talk about 2000+ so it may work for the 4th gens also

From their own description:
Usually, you get a full second of delay before you start moving.
Sprint Booster makes your car's throttle respond faster to your foot. As a result, your gas pedal actually achieves a full throttle response 25% sooner than the stock configuration.
So, that means it shaves a whopping .25 of a second off the full second, giving you .75 of a second response time. $330 is a lot to pay to save a quarter of a second. And that's assuming it really does take a full second in the first place.

My Camaro is has got some lag, but I imagine thats because its got a cable driven throttle. I wouldn't buy this product for that kind of money.
