Does anyone have this and if so how is it? It's in the Quadratec catalog.

I have it. It's great. I combined it with my Flashpaq, and the pair really lit a fire under my Jeep.

Does it effect gas mileage?

All the thing does is change the signal so that the throttle opens faster with less peddle travel. It is pretty expensive for what it is (probably R&D costs). It has no effect on horsepower or gas milage, unless you mash the peddle more than you used to.

I picked one up a while back, and have to say I do like. I never liked the fly by wire lag, although some people never notice that lag I guess. I come from old carb vehicles, where I could customize throttle response.

It might help wake up the 3.8 some, especially coupled with a Superchips. Although it is pricey.

I run it in the Red agressive mode unless I am in 4-lo. Power from the peddle is like, Right Now, there is no lag for me.

I agree that it is pricey for what you get, but I love mine. I run mine on the green setting.

If i bought another Jeep, this would be one of the very first mods i would do to it.

Absolutely love mine. It's a night and day difference. The only mpg drop I noticed is 100% due to my heavy foot. It is pricey, but worth the $$$. Try to find one used. I picked mine up for $200 in the For Sale section.

Have it on my rig. Really useful on maximum (red) setting off road. On road, I always have it on green setting and love the response. I'm using with a hemi swap though, never tried it with the 3.8, but in would assume similar: throttle lag is gone.

The superchips can adjust the sensitivity of the pedal also. You would get a lot more value with it.
