Re: the throttle and shifting lag, I think it has to do with hydraulic pressure issues. The way to induce it the worst is to run through a gear at full throttle, and then just as you click to upshift, drop off the gas (as in, I want to run hard through this one gear, then coast in the next). It will take forever to make the shift in that scenario. If you want to keep the shift time reasonable, you have to stay on the gas through the upshift and then back off afterwards. To get fast downshifts, it helps to floor the throttle a split second before you start clicking down, instead of trying to wait until it's in gear.
