No, No, and No.
Stick with the standard shifter set up. I ran the paddles for half a season, then made the switch. Boy do I wish I would of changed before the season even started.
The problem is the amount of time and strength it takes to shift a gear is far greater than the standard shifter. I would say you can downshift threw 3 gears with the standard shifter in the same amount of time as one with paddles IMO.
