Yea, I was scarred of that as well, that is why I opted for the bullet. It is not crazy amounts of power but enough to have fun. IN sport mode it adds 65hp and 100 lbs torque. I have noticed not to "downshift" from sport to stock while rolling under throttle...finger slipped

The factory Torqueshift strategy has slip in it so that it shifts smoother to keep the soccer moms happy, this leads to excess wear in stock tune. The Banks Bullet is just compounding this problem. Watch your transmission closely for excess wear.

rgonot,
Use a smart & disciplined right foot. Do not hook up to a large load and see how fast you can climb the hill. The extra power has to go somewhere and it will start finding the weak links in the chain.
