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.

Of course you need to down shift. I don't think anyone said otherwise.
It does reduce the torque dip/crater therefore smoothing out the powerband.
How else would you describe it?
I don't think anyone is talking about mashing the gas pedal and expecting some kind of miracle. I read it as not as much power loss when doing regular driving.
