its kind of hard to explain but what happens for me is when your on the throttle the rpms drop and then you can put around 95% engine load and your rpms will increase with your speed instead of jumping to around 2800 rpms or so. I tend to feather the throttle a little bit at around 2000rpms until it kicks in and on my car at least you can feel it kick in it is quite a different feeling compared to just driving normally.
