Default Finally, great throttle response

I waited as long as I could, Finally got a HP Turnesr tune. Off idle throttle response is finally more like my GTR.

GTR throttle response off idle is terrible.

Do you have an automatic?

The last thing I would describe the LT1 having is poor throttle response. I would almost describe it as electric motor like response.

But I have a manual and with rev match the car just goes immediately, no pause.

I just reloaded oem tune to bring car back for first oil change and software update ......My god I forgot how bad the throttle lag was...the car is just so responsive and crisp with the diablo tune and o ya that dam cags I forgot how S****Y that was too around town...can't wait already to reload the Diablo 93 tune

Is that necessary to reflash to OEM for each oil change? Smart, just curious, thanks

A6 is just flat slow. I don't know about other owners C7, but mine was terrible. From a
stop, Priuses and Camrys were quicker. During the tuning process the tuner said that
the car had a 135mph limiter built in and off idle to 25mph only 20% throttle available.
