How it "feels" to you, on an extended test drive, is "what it is".

It takes a few hundred miles...

Again I don't find a need to mess with anything. Mine is a long haul commuter so the less I fiddle with things the better I feel.

Hasn't bothered me a lot as I enjoy shifting near redline. More output throughout the range could be fun though. I'm planning on Ace header and tune. Possibly flex fuel sensor and e85.
