Default ETC Power on/off for IS250 AWD !

1st of all i know there many posts regarding this feature on these cars but there is no actual info that i can rely on, so my concern is >>>

1, Does it causes engine or transmission damage if you turn it on 24/7 ?
2, Do you feel more power when its on ?
3, Snow Mode works the same instead slowing down the car ?

I've tested last night with Power on + Sport Shift, i was WOw Lexus IS really has something interesting once it comes to Sport, well it's fun but then i didn't feel power gains or anything beside aggressive in motion. Like i had fun with my TRD Toyota Solara, It's an Automatic Transmission with Over drive On/Off i drove very aggressive but damn the car just don't break down, i like to know if IS250 AWD will be the same ?

I believed all it does is raised your RPM so you have the punch off the line and not much on high end. My friends has it on all the time for over 10K , motor and trans act the same but only complaint is suck gas lol
