I think this is the most telling part of the OP. " Since HP ratings are always listed at unrealistic RPM's"
It is not a linear 75 HP at all RPM levels. So unless you actually drive it in a manner to use the HP you may as well leave it stock. It is unrealistic if you think you will feel some hit at low throttle levels.
My Bully Dog has a definite hit at low throttle levels. It's very noticeable when getting up short ramps to the interstates. The difference is half throttle as apposed to full throttle to achieve the same results when merging on. Especially with TH mode on where it will lock the TC in drive as apposed to OD. Like I said earlier, I only run in extreme. I've never run it in tow setting which is only 80 hp.
