The ONLY what that works is if the before and after dynos are done on the same day, same weather conditions and same strap down force on the car.

Unless we're living life one track event at a time like Slakker, isn't this dyno talk just an exercise in using rhetoric to inundate others with our beliefs on the marginal utility of aftermarket modifications?

buy car
tune car to spec you like
enjoy
profit

fact check every variant perception that shows up on your browser

I think a tune will render the Sprintbooster obsolete. As the e-gas response will be tuned within the ECU. You will get rid of the delay.
Not sure the Sprintbooster will be compatible with a tune as the tuned e-gas signal will be 'amplified' again.
The Sprintbooster works fine with the tune. Big difference if I turn it off. I keep mine in the green setting, which is performance. Race mode is red.

same here, I installed my tune last night and there was no difference to the operation of the SPrintbooster

if i understand correctly the delay is in the pedal electronics so a tune cannot fix that, its like that on tons of cars these days I have the same issue on my Audi

Throttle by wire slows the reaction time.
