Can a tune reduce accelerator sensitivity

Hey guys,

The LWFW that came in my car is just way too sensitive. If I was on the track and needed to heel toe more easily, sure great...but for the street when paired with a non-responsive clutch it's just too annoying.

I figured that since the throttle is electronic anyway, can a tuner reduce that sensitivity?

Once my warranty is up, I'm going to get the car tuned so I wanted to start thinking about options.

I'm sure they could as they remove throttle delay when you do flash it. Can't see why they just couldn't extend the delay instead.

Oh, sweet. I wonder if that wil just make the problem worse though.

Maybe it's only awkard because there is a throttle delay and then the throttle comes on really quickly due to the LWFW?

I wish I had a local tuner in Denver so I could play with this instead of guess and check.

I hear that, I went through five exhausts trying to pick one from you tube videos. Epic fail.
Nothing beats trying something before buying it.
Not always the case unfortunately.
