adjusting the engine braking - does it work?

Engine Braking set to 1 is absolutely the least braking effect. I've been playing around with it and it's definitely 1-least, 3-most. It's a handy feature to have, I quite like being able to choose.

I understand people get into discussions about why people still blip the throttle on the downshift with a slipper clutch, but if you have strong engine braking it is necessary to blip to get smooth down changes. If you didn't tell someone it had a slipper clutch, they wouldn't know.
