There is a video of it being used whilst on the move somewhere...

It is launch control and also enables flat shifting:

""Gizzmo's launch Interface integrates with the Gizzmo Tach Recall
Shiftlight to enable the fully adjustable launch control function. The launch control function induces sequential misfire events at the desired rpm set by the user.
In a turbo application, having the throttle open while inducing misfire
increase the velocity and density of exhaust gases, allowing the turbo to spool up and generate boost with load. This results in boost being
generated before launching and therefore allowing a vehicle to launch with considerably more power. The ignition cut is clutch activated
allowing flat changing (the ability to change gear without removing your foot from the throttle). With the clutch engaged the rpm will pull back to the launch rpm previously set by the user in order to avoid over reving, this results in the vehicle not coming off boost while moving through the gears.
Launch control can benefit natural aspirated cars by giving a consistent launch rpm for best results every time, and enable quicker gear changes through flat changing.

Fully adjustable launch control

Adaptive auto detect software
Interface for 1-6 coil application

Fuzzy Logic technology

Sequentially induced misfire
Technology"

Prices are here:

These types of devices tend to be quite hard on the headers and turbo. We are about to fit one to one of our cars - it just won't get abused and used lots and lots unnecessarily

Will be fun though
