The Sprint Booster for Drive By Wire
This is been discussed in the main area, but looks like a pretty neat product. Since is technically a performance mod, I figured I would start the thread in here for it.

Take a look and let me know what you think. I talked with one of the guys from minimania.com and this is what he had to say.
This does NOT increase horsepower, but rather increases the response time when you hit the gas, allowing you to use the power sooner.
The SPR1037 is more for the manual cars.
SPRINTBOOSTER, a Plug-n-Play Performance Upgrade for your Model Year 2002 or later Honda. This is an upgrade that you can feel with normal everyday driving, not just on the track at redline!
30-DAY MONEY BACK GUARANTEE* This is a product that you need to 'feel' to believe - we are so confident that you will LOVE this product, we are offering a 30-day money back guarantee - no questions asked.
Two versions available for most models, the 'Standard' or 'Plus'. The 'Standard' is recommended for the automatic transmission and the 'Plus' for the manual transmission. The 'Plus' has a slightly more aggressive mapping more suitable for the manual transmission, while the 'standard' is recommended for the automatic transmission.
What is SprintBooster?
Most cars in the 21st century have replaced the more conventional throttle cable for an ECM (Electronic Control Module) that translates how hard the pedal is pushed into electronic signals in order to provide power to the wheels.
The ETC (Electronic Throttle Control), which is also known as Drive-By-Wire, has the unfortunate downside of delayed response and subdued acceleration, which can create problems in certain situations such as up-hill starts, quick gearchanges and overtaking.
Sprint-Booster overcomes this throttle response delay for your Honda by providing crisp, on-tap acceleration for whenever the driver demands it.

Results
* At low revs, the engine responds at approximately half the time in comparison to before.
* The delay time whilst accelerating in 3rd and 4th gear and the engine in the mid-range, is almost zero.
* Big differences in the higher rev range.
* Improved response for downshifts and safer overtaking.
* Overall safety and more fun on the road!
Sprint-Booster is a device that improves acceleration by continuously measuring and converting the digital signal provided by the ETC (Electronic Throttle Control) potentiometer, and providing the ECM (Electronic Control Module) with a new, faster and more response signal.
The design of SprintBooster allows for easy installation in all models, without the need to cut any wires or intervene in the automobile's electronics (it does not affect other systems such as electronic injection, ABS, etc.).

Thank you for your interest with the Sprint Booster.
For your 2005 Acura TL, you can use the same Sprint Booster as the Honda S2000. That is part number SPR1037.
Best regards,
Ken
