I'm not denying that the dip is there, I'm just saying I don't notice it. My driving style is fairly tame in day to day driving. Situationally, I would down shift.
If I was going to pass someone on the highway I would look ahead, find my moment, downshift, and pass as quickly as possible. I wouldn't tail gate them, they wouldn't even know I wanted to pass until it already happened.
In the rare case someone tries to gas it so I cant pass them I will already be at my power band because I downshifted before changing lanes.
