As soon as I take it out of gear, the rpms immediately drop. Before today, When I did that, the rpms would hang at whatever it was at (3000, 3500, 4000) for a two seconds and slowly drop. I also have the sensation of more power and less chances of the limiter light kicking in early. I drove it very hard on the highway. I got it up to close to 8000 rpms in second, third and fourth and was at 95 mph in no time!! phew, I was lucky traffic was light and no cops around!! One other feeling I have is that my gas mileage will see some improvement with the rpms not hanging like it was before.
See attached.

I noticed the odd changes too on the way home.I thought I was trying to convince myself that the car felt.... a little more free or lighter, more well behaved. Well, well for what i do to it on the highway.
