Default Throttle Response "hack"

I heard a rumor that there is some sort of "hack" in the 06 GT's computer that when you push the brake, pedals, etc in a certain order, it improves the throttle response. Is this true? And if it is, could someone point me to where I can find it?

It has nothing to do with the brake pedal.

Here is the TB Servo recalibration technique.

Get in the car shut door. Turn the key to the on position and wait until most of the warning lights go out. Once the lights have gone out slowly push the Gas Pedal to the floor and then slowly release it take about 3-5 seconds for each step. Turn the key of and repeat this process two more times.

Nothing to the Computer as far as changing it, it simply recalibrate the TB Servo.

What is the result, better throttle response?, Is it simply the computer relearning your driving technique, making it seem faster?, I thought you had to undo the dattery as well?
