To answer the question there is a lot of info on the main thread but short answer ... NO.

Yes, there are some faults with it. A little problem I've noticed when I had it installed was that the pedal resolution kinda sucked.
The next problem I have, is that it tricks the ecu into advancing the throttle to wide open at about 20% throttle, when before it was wide open at around 80% throttle.
I found I had to reset the throttle position after every drive or it would get kinda weird. Keep in mind I have a 6 speed version of the SB and I never tried the automatic SB but I'm sure it would do the same.
As for throttle response time it works like a charm, I believe the Automatic just has a slower response time than the 6 spd, but for all those other bugs it has caused me to remove it. I couldn't stand driving the car anymore in stop and go city traffic, it was just annoying for me. I like the stock settings best!
Definitely not worth the $250 your money is better spent with an ECU chip or exhaust.

In a word...great...
There is/was a survey on the boards for those that installed the SB. The vast majority of the votes cast were positive. I have the automatic version and it's made the car a blast to drive...or more of a blast to drive!
