Ah, OK.

Hours! Is the throttle response tuning done while driving the car? (I would think so )

All the customers that have got the sprint booster have loved it, But on the other hand all the customers that have gotten our custom or quick tunes have loved the improved throttle responce we gave them. If you can get the throttle mapping changed with a custom tune you are probaly alot better off and cheaper, but that isn't available to everyone so the Sprint Booster may be for them. Either way the improved throttle responce is a good thing.

Exactly !
