Default C7 z06 throttle response

Anyone have any good ideas for a better throttle response that would be more on par with a N/A motor? I know a SC motor will always act differently than a N/A motor however, I was looking for better throttle modulation capabilities especially while on the track.
I have heard that a ported throttle body helps combats this somewhat?? If not, is there any thing else that can help?

Thanks

A tune will fix a lot of it. Is it too sensitive? Or dull/numb?


The blade doesn't actually open all the way until 5000 rpm/ish. Its very much reducing torque even when driver demand is at 100%

Very dull on the initial application of the throttle. A noticeable delay. Or if you ever need to jab the throttle for a short burst. It's just not there like a NA car.

Sweeping corners also it's very noticeable. If your mid throttle to full then back to mid then back to full throttle etc. Modulation seems very difficult. Almost as if the throttle is a normal light switch rather than a dimmer light switch lol.

Ha! I bet. Learn something new about this computer controlled car every day. You can post on the mafia page if you like. You think a TB will work? I posted this on the general section and the responses were cai, tb and a vitesse throttle controller. Not sure which route to consider.
