Default Throttle sensitivity???

Is there any way to increase the throttle sensitivity? Like.. I dont want it so that when a hair falls on my pedal I burn out or anything.. it just seems like I have to push on my pedal kinda hard to get it to take off... is that something Im going to have to get used to or can it be changed?

A diablo tuner(or any tuner) will cut out the lag in the throttle that you are having. The lag is setup in the fly by wire throttle electric throttle we have. When it is installed there will be no punching it and waiting 2 seconds for the computer to determine that you punched it and then accellerate the way it should. It will just go when you wish it to.

I'm not sure. I've only heard about problems people are having with aftermarket throttle bodies on these cars. I dont' think the tuners like them to much. I'll let somebody that has one inform you on that one.

My tune got rid of all the lag time. Before the tune it was like calling the engine room for more or less power with a relay man in between.
