It mostly feels like it's just in how the throttle engages and disengages now. Everything about it is so much smoother and since you do that so much in a manual it really changes how well you can shift. Even just doing something like going 45-60 in 6th gear and letting off the gas to engine brake feels smoother. You can feel that in any gear at any speed. Go WOT in a lower gear and quickly let off the throttle and the car will just keep rolling, you barely even feel the engine rock if at all. I still have all stock mounts and it's surprising how little engine rock I feel under any condition now. I've actually been considering an insert lately, but that doesn't really seem needed anymore.
After you shift it also feels like the power is immediately right where it should be and continues at the same rate as the previous gear. Rather than feeling like you have to re-accelerate after a shift, kinda giving a hammock feeling, it maintains its momentum through the gears.
I've driven it for about 2 hours with 2.51 and I probably only went WOT 3 or 4 times total. Feeling the difference just being stuck in traffic and driving like normal was enjoyable enough.
