On some cars the signal between the accel pedal and the TB plate could stand to be 'tweaked" to make the plate respond faster to the input of the pedal. The fly by wire system in the BMW's and the Chryslers have a progressive feel to them, with a bit of delay. A good tuner with a Diablo can tune it out of the Chrysler, but I'm unaware of any such solution for the BMW.
The Sprint Booster intercepts the signal and advances it a bit, fooling the TB plate to open faster / further than the stock calibration, that's all. It does make those cars more "responsive" to accel pedal input, making them more enjoyable to drive.

As I originally stated though, the Camaro doesn't seem to need a recalibration in it's tps response.
