Is there a tune/mod you can incorporate into the ECU enabling a more direct relationship between throttle input & throttle body positioning?
I would be much happier to have a throttle that reacts more like a carburetor in regards to throttle control.
Thanks

the tunes can adjust how the throttle body responds to your foot. if say stock is 0-100% throttle, and 10% down on the pedal means the throttle body is 10% open....the tunes can make it so 10% down on the pedal is 20% open on the throttle body. i know that's kind of a crappy explanation but you get the point.

Are you talking more linear? If so just put it in ORM.

Yeah, I was aware of that, but I do not want to have to put it in off-road every time I get in the truck.

My point was to make it more linear, without the lag time it experiences now. It really sucks when you leave a stoplight & you either bog slowly or it jumps forward like your trying to race........recently happened to me with a PO sitting next to me at a stoplight.:crazy:

Your always going to have the drive by wire feeling... you can make the throttle so sensitive that it will just be too sensitive.. WE tuned a 2012 model last week and it was actually pretty good on the throttle for me. Give me a call if you have any other questions

An updated tune for a 2012, you got my attention! Even with performance tune, it feels better more like a holley four barrel with leaking vacuum secondary... :)
