We haven't noticed a big difference with ours but we are running 2 cims and 1 mini cim...our winch has the other 2 cims so we use all jags with CAN; we can then use current sensing so we can slow the line power while drawing back. We also have optimized auto shifting to help be most efficient . We love the acceleration though
