do these boosters really work? i see them from $160 to $400. wanted to know if they are really worth it. i know when crawling on rock i would like it a little less sensitive.

 

Best improvement I made for rock crawling was a hand throttle, with a locking feature

 

I have a Sprint Booster throttle signal booster on my 2015 jk 6 speed manual and it makes the accelerator pedal more sensitive/ faster response for sure but I really don't think its worth the money they cost. They might be more beneficial on an automatic transmission? If I did it over again i'd put my money in to another upgrade.

 

I have never run across hand throttles before. Learn new things every day. Is something like this mainly used for manual transmissions to help keep the throttle up and make the clutch easier to handle at crawl speeds?

 

 

y, I saw that, I was just wondering the real world application of one of those. Possibly making it easier to crawl with a manual tranny is the only thing I could think of.

I lived in Summit County, Colorado years ago, crawled over Rabbit Ears, cruised Teluride when it was a small town. Hunted Grand Mesa for several years. Now I prefer sand between my toes

 

I put an S-drive in my JK and put it in race mode. We hopped and lurched our way to the gym nearly getting whiplash.. Calming it down did the trick however and I no longer have that throttle lag that makes it really hard to make smooth changes in what is a rather agricultural gear box 😀
Money well spent. Not sure I'd use it for rock crawling though, I reckon it might break something, it's good to have a bit of damping
