This car needs down shifting during deceleration if acceleration is intended right after that so that the engine carries the momentum and stays in the power rpm band. I see comments about smoothing out the power band, no down shifting necessary, complaints about torque dip, etc. I have a supercharged FRS and it still needs down shifting with 50% more power and no torque dip. This car simply cannot accelerate until engine revs over 3000 rpm. If the engine is below 3000 rpm and driver intends to accelerate, down shifting is a must. There is no way around, no tune or header can fix this. Only help could be turbo with low end torque but with the high risk of blown out engine.
