sorry, but I can't see any way it can make you faster, only keep you from having an off road excursion. It cuts power, which might keep you on the road but won't increase your speed.

I'm not saying its a bad thing or anything, I just don't think it can make you go faster, no matter how smooth you are. If you are smooth, it shouldn't ever come on.
