The drivability is much better than stock; however once in a while (much less often than before), I feel that the car is in one gear higher. Most the times was the car reached 5th gear and had to slow down for something. But again, it happens much less often than before.
A couple of times, I accidentally touched the shift switch and downshifted, due to the downshift switch is so much more sensative than before. Downshift is so quick, I can downshift two gears like F1 (well almost)
I did make a video, but the quality was pretty bad. The mic was picking up all the noice but the engine sound. I feel embarassed to put it on the board.
The question was... was the money well spent? To me, the answer is yes. $1k doesn't get you much today, just seeing the needle hit 7000 rpm and comes back down to 5k (and do it over again) is worth the money.
