I would suggest blind test to see what you prefer. Clearly this is a 'driver feel' issue. No one was claiming performance effects.
That's the debate, actually, isn't it? Nobody has claimed horsepower or torque gains - correct. However, the OP claims that initial hesitation on pedal input gets significantly reduced. If true, it must change 0-60 and drag strip times. That would be a "performance improvement" if performance is defined as what the car delivers against the clock.

Should be an easy one for the motoring press to disect. Or for Mythbusters ...
