Its hard to say because they do different things - the Sprint booster remap's the TPS's mapping, yes by throwing voltage around - but that's not all, it does it properly.
This is well engineered piece because it puts the voltage in the right place - but it also knows when to take it out... its not just a map-amp (per-say) or a glorified potentiometer - By properly mapping the TPS its like a "chip" it because the ECU will automatically throw the tune forward and put the trans into proper play - so having installed removed and reinstalled - its definitively better with... and its easy to install. Its a love hate - we really wanted to pick this apart and say it didn't work - but it did...
and yes - we will now carry it.... sorry guys we really wanted to say it was BS -

One of our sponsors here did a test and commented that it actually works (it makes the JK respond better & with an auto helps the trans downshift quicker). But it doesnt actually increase any horse power...The only question is are you willing to spend for it...I believe it retails for around $300. For that amount others have said that you could use that to buy a programmer like the superchips FP
