I finally did the Gotts mod a couple months back. I feel a bit better throttle response but the tranny doesnt seem to like the hard downshifts, which it never did to begin with. U wont be dissapointed if u keep realistic expectations. To help with a noticable "seat of the pants" improvement = I changed the air filter and did the full throttle calibration also. I was happy
