Acceleration from start
I've got about 6K miles on my 19 G/S and find that it seem to bog down when the accelerator is pushed hard from a dead stop. After a lag then it takes off like gang busters. Is this due to a dirty throttle body or something else mechanical. I considered the range unit but told that wouldn't help. Any ideas?

The stock program on my M7 would only Give 23% throttle at anything below 2200 rpm if I remember right. It ramps up from there but wide open throttle does not happen until you get above around 3000. I had an EFILive programmer sitting around waiting over ten years for me to get a new toy to use it on. I didn’t know how to tune, but forum member tblu92 hooked me up with a tune. Now I get wide open throttle at any RPM. The difference is night and day.

Is it possible that you're getting into Traction Control and the system is cutting power to reduce wheelspin?
On our 2017 Z51 A8, my biggest problem is getting traction 0-30.
