    E38 Throttle Response Adjustments - Desired Throttle Area Table

    Hi all, after a ton of reading - I am still a bit confused on adjusting these tables.

    The stock C6 LS3 I have (6l80e) has the below 0-9% Throttle zeroed out and starts with 1 at 15%.
    See Below:

    Is there a way to adjust this to get a little more response down low? Similar to what a Peddal Commander would do.

    I notice the ZR1 base tune has 1 starting at 9%

    I am assuming this would be the right area to do so, but know I cant change things too much.

    Anyone modify these tables want to share a screenshot?

    never done it myself but yeah go for it. ive heard you just need to maintain a smooth ramp. I don't think you'd mess up by shifting the table to the left 1 or 2. worse thing you don't like it and put it back.

    Add some decimal places to your table, you probably find that those are not all zeros.

    I generally use the tables to restrict power on blown cars.

    Comes in very handy with PD blower cars if they are over-pulley'd or experience belt slip in higher rpm's. Restrict it opening in the mid range then let it eat as the rpm's get up.

    As an example, I have a 416ci & harrop fdfi2650 combo in 1 of my cars, for testing purposes @ full pedal to the floor. I have it set to 23% @ & below 2400rpm moving up to 43% in the 100APP column. Car is still QAF, but still makes 10psi of boost vs 18 & still makes 600+whp.

    For whoever is curious down the line - After a few different tests, I added the following changes to Tables A B and C.

    Haven't had issues in a few hundred miles.

    Safe to go higher based on what you do? I've been enjoying the changes so far.

    Glad to see some others that actually use this table to their benefit. Makes a wonderful difference in the dead area in the first bit of pedal travel, in my opinion.
