I had the same dilema,, and did my research and came to the conclusion.... Blitz Throttle Controller!!!! Like Gs2isf said,,,,, smiles only afterwards!!! When I first got the Blitz throttle controller, I tested it on the highway,, 8th gear cruising at 60ish,, pedal to the metal,,, instantly without even gear hunting,, it downshifted to 4th!!! Spend the $350?? and you will be glad you bought the Blitz Throttle Controller..
It changes the feel. Just like putting a quarter turn throttle on a liter bike. It doesn't actually go any faster, but it sure feels different because you move your wrist a whole lot less for whole lot more go. This is also the same as changing your brake pads and feeling like the car stops sooner. It really doesn't, it just takes less effort for the same amount of stopping power.

I've noticed some sluggishness from a stop in my car lately. It happens when the RPMs drop to about 500RPM at a light. It appears when the A/C compressor shuts off the RPMs drop and takeoff is sluggish. It's ok though, saves gas at a light.
