FYI Bimmerbrakes headers are in and a package deal with a Eurocharged tune is being conjured up as we speak. Stay tuned (yes I realize that's a pun).

Just read the entire 32 pages. Very interested in this over the $300 sprint booster. But can anyone with a 6MT compare that for me. Obviously not going to get a ton of WHP, but I agree with tuner, it's the mid-range that really wakes up most cars. That said what I'm most interested in, is possibly a comparison on the drive by wire changes?
I read about the Sprint Booster story and how you can't get 100% throttle open until 3500 RPM's. What does this tune do for throttle response?

Seth do you guys offer remote tuning with something such as this Autocal? It's a OBDII flash pack with tuning installed. I have EFI LIVE on my Duramax which seems to be pretty much the same as Eurocharged. I'm really interested in some tuning for the ZHP. What all does it do for the Automatics? Does it change any shift points?

I guess my question was more along the lines of how it's done than an opinion on it.
Sprint Booster modifies the signal so that instead of waiting until 3500 RPM to open the butterfly on the TB 100%, it can do it based on throttle position at any RPM.
Is that a similar case here?
The SprintBooster just amplifies the signal coming off the pedal. It makes the ECU think the pedal is depressed 100% when you gave physically only depressed it 50% or 30% depending on what mode you have it in. The benefit is that it feels like the throttle response is quicker and feels like the transmission diwnshifts sooner. The downside, and the reason I don't have one on my car, is that you end up with all this dead travel in the pedal. When I'm driving spirited I'm not an on/off kinda guy with the pedal. I like to modulate the pedal and when I let off a little I expect it to back off accordingly.

What I was getting to is that if the ECU limits the throttle body opening at lower RPM the SprintBooster won't change that.
