Default Get rid of "drive by wire" lag

Any of you seen this?

http://www.throttleboost.com/p-246-f...2004-2008.aspx

I saw a recent episode of TRUCKU on the SPEED channel last week; they featured this "plug and play" device and gave it their thumbs up. A search on Google netted quite a few good reviews as well. My buddy installed one on his BMW and loves it; he claims no more throttle lag.

Kind of pricy at $319.00. Any of you have experience with it?

Seems like something that could be incorporated into a tuner? Could be wrong, but, I dont know about 300+ just for that do dad.

Bucko- Even your "Minky" is scratching his head over that one. I think he's saying "let me think about this for a while and get back to Ya".
Have you seen the "How to" on one of the Ford truck forums on how to take the throttle potentiometer out and take it apart to make the modification to eliminate the throttle lag? Doesn't do all that this does, but it only costs you the time, no $$$.
