Basically it replaces your shift rod with an electronic one.

When the unit feels that you are pushing on the shifter, it cuts the ignition for an instant so there is no pressure in the motor allowing you to shift up without pulling in the clutch.

This way you can keep your trottle wide open and allow the computer chip to stop the spark for like a 1/4 of a second. Like I said enough to take the pressure off the trans and allow a quick shift.

Yea a little, the advantage is to be able to shift without a signifigant drop of the rmp's and without letting go of the throttle.

That's so awesome! I've never heard of that before! How much does one of these cost, where can you get it, and how hard is it to install?
