Looks like you have listed an '89 octane' as one of your poll choices. What tune is this. From looking on Superchips website, they have the 4 tunes that I listed in my poll. Is there another tune for 89 octane fuel?

The throttle is much more responsive with the Sprintbooster.
For an automatic, the transmission delay between gears is lessened. So, less momentum is lost between gear shifts.
Having installed CAI, throttle bodies, and aftermarket exhausts on jeeps that really only make a meaningful HP difference over about 3k rpm, I would spend money on a Sprintbooster before the others because it affects drivability under 2500 rpm more than a CAI, throttle body, or exhaust combined.

pants better acceleration.
That said, the Sprintbooster doesn't add anything as far as power or efficiency. It simply maps the drive by wire potentiometer connected to the throttle differently. It gives a much better feel at roll out from a stop, with less feathering of the clutch and throttle. For an automatic it will flash your torque converter more quickly, hitting the stall speed.
In all I like it a lot, just wouldn't displace my exhaust and intake upgrades. Not even sure I would put it in front of either of them nor my Flashpaq, although from a seat of the pants feel it was as or more effective than any of them.

So many of you like the 91. what gas are you running then? 93? We only have 87,89,93 around chitown. My wife's volvo runs 91 ( I assume as it's what's available in europe?) so I run to half tank and alternate 89 and 93. It can run on any though.

Getting a Flashpaq this week, we have 93 octane fuel here, if I use the 91/tow tune and use 93 fuel is there an issue?
Or if I use a 93 tune then get in a situation on a trip with only 91 Available will tear something all to pieces?
