Think old school throttle cable tightening. With the drive by wire technology there is no cable to tighten, so there is little one can do to increase throttle response. This increases the signal and tricks the computer to thinkning you are pressing the acceleator more than you are (to a point). So it basically eliminates/decreases the throttle delay and the throttle dead spot. It is cute to liken this to an electrical supercharger. One claims to be a performance item, yet does nothing but essentially decrease airflow, and is widely regarded as a useless gag. The other does not claim to increase performance; just to reduce throttle lag commonly associated with drive by wire technology. Additionally it is widely used by many different automotive enthusiasts. (e.g. Google Mini Cooper sprint booster) That being said, I decided to share my experience because I know there are likely many Dads like me that had to give up their sports car for family car, and this helps the Journey to drive a little more like a car, and a little less like a mini van. To each their own.

At first, I thought it was gimmicky as well. My dad and brother got one for their trucks and they loved it. So i went ahead and got one as well. I was more than pleasantly surprised. I have googled Overkill Motorsports. I have emailed the guy twice over the course of a month and I have received no response from him. A little disappointing to be honest.

I installed a sprint booster about a week ago on my Journey. It has made a HUGE different in the way the car drives. I used to hate the "dead pedal" feel, and while cruising it took more effort than I liked to get the transmission to kick down a gear. Now it drives substantially better (in my opinion). It obviously does not make the car faster in any way, but it just feels lighter on its feet. Just wanted to let everyone know this was an option out there. I know there is not much performance wise for our vehicles, and that kills me. I have always modified my vehicles and this is the first one that has virtually no aftermarket support for performance mods. Oh well...hope this helps!

Laminx.com They have different shades for all lights on a vehicle. I have used this on fog lights for a few different vehicles. It is always cut perfectly and have never melted or discolored. The fogs on my journey are yellow using the cuts from that site. I recommend you look there.
