Aw, geez, don't get your panties in a wad. Your definition, and the textbook definition of throttle response is very different. It changed your pedal effort, but your engine isn't what's responding differently to the product, and that's what throttle response is based on. Not your foot. Performance wise, it does nothing for your engine. Just the driver. It WON'T make your car faster, accelerate or decelerate faster. If you like it, then great. It's still snake oil if advertised to improve throttle response. A lightweight flywheel or underdrive pulleys WILL do that.
Still, IT LOOKS GREAT on your engine. $7 ain't bad... hell I've been known to spend as much as $11 on a polished valve cover, so I know all about cheap cosmetic mods.
