JK acceleration sucks

I have the sprint booster and a sprintex s/c on my 07. The booster certainly helped but it didn't make it feel worlds faster. It did make it feel quicker because the throttle acted faster.
By far the blower is the best mod I think I've done to my rig. I can cruise at lower rpms without worrying about shifting to climb up hills and I keep speed on the highway without having to downshift all the time.
It's not a race car by any means but it certainly is faster than it used to be.

Man I miss that truck...

I've been trying to find something economical that would improve acceleration for awhile. Nothing cheap is going to make you go "wow". I have 35s and 4:10s and it feels like a slug. I'd just learn to live with it till you can put up the cash for a major mod.

I would say , gears and tuner. Diablosport has a throttle booster built in. Gears will give your performance back, the tuner will smooth things out and add power throughout your rpm band. ( if forced induction is out of the question )
Just think of it like this.
1. Gears- regains performance on street and off road. Often increases mpg too. Little to no maintenance. Cant go wrong with a regear. Highly recommended by almost everyone.
2. Gears+tuner - same as above but with added power and other options. Trans, speedo/tire and gear adjustments. Regear will require ecu adjustments either through a tuner or procal/flashcal anyways.
3. Forced Induction- best power increase and rumoured 2-6mpg increase with some kits. But your adding moving parts to your jeep. Keep in mind a supercharger often needs maintenance and rebuilds. 91 octane required and pricey to begin with. But JK owners seem to be very happy with forced induction.
All the best and dont be afraid to ask more questions. Real jeepers are happy to help.
