it reduces the time that it takes your trany to down shift when you get on it. like that little pause when you punch it and it takes about a half second to engage it reduces that.
also when you are just driving when it shifts from 1-2, 2-3, 3-4, the time is reduced there as well

yes this is true if you drive it lke a normal person and not a wild man/Woman.
this will help tear it up to a point. BUT thsi is not always the case either.

how it helps is it can prolong the life of the clutches and the bands in the tranny.
