But, the added speed boost at higher RPMs on highway use is a treat, when I am not sitting in DC beltway traffic, heh.
I imagine the rock hopper folks that do MOAB with the S/C could tell ya just how much more helpful it is. Probably more beneficial for that sort of use, IMHO.
I totally agree towards the rural aspect as I have alot of hills to and fro and the SC really adds spunk since I'm not running monster tires. I really felt like it paid off big time in colorado climbing the the mountains and watching normally aspirated vehicles running in the slow lane with flashers on.
I don't feel it does anything towards rock hopping as your not utilizing the upper powerband....just chugging along in low-range.
