SprintBooster Installed!
I just finished installing a SprintBooster on my 2010 JK auto. Holy crap, what a difference, it works better than I expected! My biggest gripe with the JK was the lack of throttle response. The drive by wire system leaves much to be desired, but the SprintBooster solved everything I hated about driving my Jeep. If you think your JK is sluggish or unresponsive I suggest giving it a try. It won't make it any faster but the throttle will be a much more responsive to any input. The throttle feels crisp and the driving experience is completely different. Money well spent in my book, I highly recommend it to anyone who feels disappointed by the throttle response of their JK.

I'm curious how it effects gas mileage, as I have read all it really does is amplify/boost the electronic signal. If this is the same as "stomping on it" all the time, I would suspect gas mileage will take a big hit. Can anyone confirm/deny this?
If not, then yes, it would solve one of my biggest nags about the Jeep.

I agree with Dave - don't knock it till you've tried it. I just installed mine last week (I have a Flashpaq too) and it's great! I run my Flashpaq on the 91 tune (can't find 93 gas around here) and liked it as an upgrade from stock, but when paired with the Sprint Booster, it was like something finally lit a fire under my Jeep! Totally different now - much better, and highly recommended.

Wouldn't this be the same as the superchips where you have 3 levels of throttle response in the advanced tunes option? What is the big difference between the superchips and sprint booster?
So you are saying the sprint booster is like a stackable powerchip programmer that can be combined with Superchips? What kind of gains are you seeing with them both combined?
