From that white paper (I wasn't far off with my .02 seconds estimate!)

OK, so what about those times when I do mash the pedal to the floor? If you examine the TPS curves carefully, you'll see that with or without Sprint Booster, when mashing the accelerator pedal the throttle butterfly valve moves equally as fast for about the first half of its travel.

It's only when the throttle is more than half open does it actually move a bit faster with Sprint Booster. The Sprint Booster speed gain when mashing the throttle is 0.07 second, so 0.07 x ½ travel is 0.035 second. With Sprint Booster, the throttle is open wider for 0.035 second.

How much wider? Only a small fraction wider than the stock case at any given point in its travel. In theory, that would translate into a faster 0-60 acceleration figure of something less than 0.035 second. In actuality, the increase is so small that it is not measurable.
