What about in DS mode? Will there be any difference with SB? I don't have SB installed but I find the throttle response in DS mode is alot more responsive than in normal D mode.

My 550 in DS is considerably more responsive with SB than without it. Again, especially in DS, there can be some jerkiness in the acceleration with SB if your foot is not very smooth.
