yes they are technically tunable, I guess I was more referring to the ease of doing it compared to a Subie access port) or even a Honda.

The SB makes it feel like the response time is faster but it is just increasing your pedal throw. It is not and does not actually speed up the electrical impulse or signal to the ECU. It simply allows the driver to depress the pedal much less to get the car to WOT.

I've read various other car forums to learn about the SB and for the most part they had positive results. However they almost all agree that it is a simple device that does what you can achieve with your own foot but makes it feel much faster because you don't actually have to push the throttle down much to get to that point.

I can't remember what forum it was but some techy guy took it apart and wrote about how it was just a voltage booster but had no way of actually effecting the electrical signal speed it self.

I think it's likely a fun mod, just not cheap for what it is that's all.
