yeah i was reading some of the other forums and they said they had to adjust to the way the car now lurches forward when they press on the gas.

but im still not 100% sure if thats what this does

i assume u r the grey rx8. anyway is gfoo driving a MT or AT? Does it makes a diff for both?

I can't believe no-one has explained why this does nothing for HP or torque .
gfoo - all you are experiencing is a quicker throttle opening . You would get exactly the same thing if you quickly slammed your foot to the floor every time you accelerated.

Okok all,

In this thread at the moment, none of us other than Gfoo have tested this product, and is nice of him to share the results and findings to us.

So lets not flame him no more, but thank him instead.

Whether the product works or not, we can either purchase and do a trial, have a test-drive in gfoo's car or have a drag with him

Gfoo, come come, tonite lets "Ready, Setto, Go"

i in no way meant to flame i just wanted to get a little more detail about this.

so where did you order/get this from because on their site i didnt see mazdas as an availible option?

also how is the driviblilty? would it be a little too much in traffic?

is this basically a thing that goes full throttle when you press on the gas? similar to just stomping on the gas but is more responsive?


these are just what people are skeptic about

On that logic then I should really use just 3 gears as you are quite a bit heavier than me bro
