Ect Power Switch...

How much difference is this switch supposed to make?

I did a standing start with and without, couldn't tell the difference really.

Maybe mine just doesn't work!

sharpens throttle response, i.e. car shifts down a gear or two much more quickly, and it delays changing gear by 500rpm or so..so it DOES make a difference. doubt you would notice a difference on the LS from start as the gearing is quite long, esp since it's a 4 speed.

you will notice it if you are needing quicker acceleration when passing vehicles, changing lanes etc.

i've noticed the difference with my old LS and my current GS.

Ah!

Now that's why it doesn't seem to make a difference on a standing start 0-100, with the throttle nailed, it doen't shift untill the red line anyway.

(it's great to have access to a 2 mile long runway!)

Hi,

You will notice the difference mainly when on the move driving,with the power button on the car more likely to change down through the gears rather than use the torque of the engine.

Yes i agree, i can tell it ifs off by the gear change

I leave it on all the time .If i am going to overtake the revs will stay on longer and keep the power on

Hi,

If ive got the aircon on then i drive with the gearbox in power mode,because i can feel the extra load/drag on the engine at low rpm.

Thats a very good point.

I have my air con on all the time.
