Press in a different spot on the pedal. Voila! You have now installed the Sprintbooster II! Unlike the prototype first version, it is infinitely adjustable! It is reversible! It has no impact on your warranty! It is undetectable by the dealer! Instead of a puny 30% gain improvement, you can double the throttle response, or more. If you try this, please be sure to send $29.95 to me. That is a 90% discount, certainly worth it for a $70 k vehicle.

Have a nice day.
In my spirited driving today, I have tried different heel positions and have found not a single iota of difference in "feel" in my 4.8i's throttle response.

So you do you owe me $29.95 for testing this? I think the Sprint Booster is better value because users (generally) claim to feel a difference and it makes them happy

Note that I do not plan to buy one; my 4.8i's throttle response is just fine for this sort of vehicle...
