power mode all the time, but to be honest, I don't feel or see a difference.
I could see and feel the difference in my first gen, but not on my 2nd gen

That's true, I don't notice a difference except the shifts are more responsive.

It appears to me if the ECT is on the "power" mode that it'll shift at a higher RPM. What I did was just leave it on "power" mode and go through all the gears with like ¼ throttle. And I believe it shifted at higher RPM compare to if I didn't use "power" mode. Or maybe I'm just not consistent enough. I haven't try "power" mode at WOT tho...gas is high when I have 3½ tanks to fill in my garage. But I'm not complaining.
