at "modders around the interent". they're called "web wheelers" and clearly, a majority of them only know what they've read on the interent. you might want to try and step away from your computer from time to time and get your hands dirty working on your jeep. who knows, you might learn a thing or two.
ive been modding all my cars (and jeeps) for 20 years.. and i like your videos. so i expect more than a recommendation of this product from someone as knowledgeable as you. sorry to offend everyone.

how do you think it does that? it increases voltage. guess what? so does pushing your pedal down further.

now its back.. weird stuff going on round here..

ya i got an infraction for stating an opinion too.
for the record, i am not the one who deleted your post. in fact, i am the one who UNDELETED it because i wanted everyone here to see the kind of person you really are. accusing me of only promoting products that i get paid to promote is not an opinion but rather, it's slander. but, i think everyone knows that clearly, your only purpose for being here is to promote your biased agenda against this forum and of me.

of course you have - certainly, we all have your word for it and the majority of all your "internet modders" too

you'll forgive me but, reading what the majority of internet modders have to say does not equal "experience".

delete all my posts in this thread if you like.
at least you're consistent - always the drama queen

i stand by my opinion
of course you do - it's all you got


EDIT: LOL!! oh, i see that you've just deleted all your posts - nice
too bad for you, i can undeleted them again so that everyone here can see the kind of guy you really are

just so that it's absolutely clear - I DID NOT GET PAID TO PROMOTE THIS PRODUCT and sprint booster IS NOT A SPONSOR here. in spite of what some of the trolls will try to suggest, i genuinely like this product. if you have your doubts, test one out for yourself. from what i understand, there are a lot of authorized dealers out there who will allow you try before you buy.

My question is did you seem to use more gas while using it. I know how and why it works but juzt curious if the seat of the pants feeling equaled more gas consumption

no. i just have mine set to the green standard setting and all it does is give you acceleration as soon as you step on the pedal - just gets rid of that lag or delay that you feel when you step on the gas. the red sport setting does seem to hold your rpm's up longer and i suppose that would burn more gas but, i don't use that setting.

I have a 6-speed, and was still definitely able to notice a difference. I rode around with the "red" setting for the first week and did use a bit more gas, but you get used to the better acceleration. Now I normally run on "green" all the time. I also wanted to mention that I'm using it with my Flashpaq on the 91 tune and am definitely enjoying them working together.

Yep - for the first week or so, but you get used to how it accelerates differently, so can compensate for that.
