akshay, its not that bad for me. immediately after installation, i was able to rev the swift to 110kmph in 3rd with ease. by which time it was doing 4000rpm, and screaming. now at 100 in 3rd gear, i have to upshift to keep the acceleration exciting. its not the way you described. so obviously, my problem is different and probably minor.
