Default Has anyone had any experience with SPRINT BOOSTER?

I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with sprint booster and what all functions does it have?

They say that they have one for the 12' wrangler. I wonder if it damages anything or leaves a trace? Basically does it void warranty? lol My delay sometimes is horrific. I hit it full throttle the other day at 60 and literally 3 seconds later it downshifted and finally sped up. This was on flat ground.

Anyways please comment if you have experience.

Never seen anything like it. Probably acts as some kind of make shift launch control. High end sports cars have launch control IMO you dont need it for a JK. Also you would not have that problem if you had a 6 speed. Autos suck. Why do I want a computer to automatically shift gears for me I have my right arm and my left foot to do that.

its not a launch control from what i can tell, its a drive by wire controller or something. basically taking the lag out of the pedal. I dunno.

Basically it just corrects your throttle delay, thus allowing for quicker throttle response and a feeling of less lag. I'd save your money or just get a manual next time like I did. Thought about getting it for my old '07 auto, but I found that no one was really raving about it so I opted not to.

It is a little pricey for what you get, but it does work. Fortunately, money is no object for me. That's why I got an auto.
