You know what, I don't care if I get *****ed at by the mods or someone, I must say this: You're wrong.
Read this, it's not elaborated, but it's to the point by MD, one I would hardly argue or have a difference of opinion with.

This was on page 2, notice the last line.
My fuel cut is 9300 rpm. My shift light is set for 8800 rpm...in the heat of battle you need 500 rpm buffer to react...the torque is trailing off by then anyway and I'm just wasting time after 8800 rpm. The JDM FD gets me into the powerband after a shift.
You go slower if you hit the fuel cut. The car stutters for a tenth or two and then drops the revs and you have to recover. By the time you shift after the fuel cut, your revs have dropped a lot. You shift and the revs fall out of the powerband. Now you have caught the next gear out of the powerband...you have to rev up to the powerband to get moving forward again faster...you are slower...big time...the 1/4 mile times drop off by 0.4-0.5 sec when people hit the fuel cut off. If you don't think there's much of a difference, consider how far you are behind someone if you ran 15.1 sec vs 14.6-14.7 sec. et.
Then there's the small matter of engine wear...wait until you have to pay the piper for bouncing off the fuel cut off a lot over the years...it ain't pretty....
Have fun getting your car fixed, hehe.
