Throttle Booster?!?
In regards to the ECU adapting to our driving style, is anyone running this unit on their AT?

Would this eliminate the need to reset the ECU

Just to get the "Full powered" feeling back in the pedal?? Thoughts, suggestions, likes, dislikes, reasons?

Even if you did get it (or something like it), it doesn't actually DO anything except change the throttle engagment.
For example (extreme to show the demonstration) you could set it to, say, have full throttle voltage at 10% of throttle travel.
This just means the throttle would be very sensitive .... but you would get the EXACT SAME performance at each throttle position voltage as you get now at that throttle position voltage. It only provides an illusion of performance - "WOW!! I barely press the throttle and this thing takes off like a rocket" - because the 10% position is now the new 'full throttle' position. BUT after that 10% travel there is nothing .... you're already at full throttle.
IOW, in my opinion, it's a waste of money. It adds ZERO performance. All you're doing is changing pedal travel between 0 and 100%

You couldn’t have answered this any better... I really wish there was an easier way to reset the damn ECU and or disable it completely... I sit in traffic a lot so my ECU is always tuning its self down; I get a nasty lag when I stomp on it... I have to switch to "Tip-Tronic" to overcome this...

This was and had been tried for cars with DWB's. A few people tested this on a 06+ Civic SI and it works as if your car didn't have the DWB lag. What it does was explained by Bearcat, it does no performance gains as it only works more on your throttle engagement. The Flashpro by Hondata cured this problem. In a way, its no great investment.
