The biggest effect I could anticipate would be that when you ARE trying to use part throttle - to get a smooth start in first gear, you get instead immediate wheelspin off the line, losing those first valuable seconds.......

My stand is that the SB allows me to to achieve the redline with only half depression on the throttle instead of full. However, I agree that it is only useful in the first gear.Redline to redline could be achieved is u just hold it there.Anyway I don experience much wheel spin on dry conditions. If its wet weather, I have only myself to blame if i floor it. With regards to wheel spin, maybe its just u?

yeh - because your throttle would open 200% and give you double the horsepower for an instant before exploding in a fireball ... YO+++ !!!!111111
