drive by wire wired pedal
ok so i was just reading through JP magazine and came across this article on page 93 it's called wired pedal.
it's says
" if you are sick and tired of your drive-by-wire late model jeep acting like its got turbo lag, here is the fix. the sprint booster plugs in behind the accelerator pedal, eliminates the delay between pressing the pedal and actually going, and it does not affect any of the other electronic systems in the jeep such as ABS ESP,or anything else dependent on the throttle input.
has anyone heard of this. sounds like it would be awesome.
it is a little pricey though. i went to the website it say it's 329.00 beans. but might be worth it. just wondering if anyone has heard of it or if anyone has tried it.
if anyone wants to check out the website it's www.sprintboosterusa.com they don't say much about it on the website. but check it out let me know what you think.

Howdy,
Get a SC Flashpaq, it ended all the lag problems with my auto, and give more HP to boot. Many threads on programmers here. I recently read one where many disapprove of the sprint....
I have and love the SC. Best mod to date for my JK

I'm pretty sure the pedal does not "delay" in sending the signal to the ECU. Either the ECU delays action to help improve MPG, or, more likely, the electronic throttle motor takes some time to move the throttle plate to the desired position.
I'd be interested to see everyone else's take on it, or maybe someone that actually has one, but in my mind the problem is not in the pedal, and 300+ bones of snake oil between the pedal and the ECU won't fix that.

Hmm, well not sure what to say. The SC took care of all my gripes about how my JK was running. I hated the delayed feeling while pressing on the skinny and waiting for a response. The SC took care of all of that for me. All I did with mine was get the latest update, then apply the 87 tune. Nothing else yet.
