It is absolutely is that simple. There's a potentiometer in your gas pedal that outputs a voltage signal proportional to throttle position. This just amps up the output signal, how much depends on what setting it's on. IIRC, they clearly state this on their website. Not to be blunt, but you spent hundreds of dollars on something and you didn't even look into what it does?
You installed it right? Did you notice the only thing you were interfacing with was the pedal? Given that fact, obviously there's no mode by which you could have gained power at 100% throttle.
BTW: A C400 is running 13.3 at 107+. And again sorry for being blunt, but if he was trying to outrun you, he could...as in, very, very easily. You car isn't even remotely in the same league as that car. You'd need a tuned N55 X1 (like 380-400 BHP) to keep up.
