Hi Guys! Been awhile again but my favorite forum always seems to bring me back!
Hey a couple years ago my son bought a '16 C7 Z51. He, like almost everyone else with one, noticed the annoying throttle lag/response. He wasn't going to mod the car but he wanted me to tune it just to get rid of the weird pedal feel. I haven't done anything with the Gen 5 engines so I looked at his stock tune and took a guess as to what was limiting the basic pedal/throttle relationship. It was literally two things I changed, I named the tune "2016 Vette throttle try 1" and we loaded the tune. If I remember right (getting old. lol.) the throttle lag was completely 100% gone.
Anyway, also awhile back I got into a "discussion" (haha) about stupid add-on's like Pedal Commanders and also a modified throttle body a guy was selling on the Vette forum. I mentioned how easy it was to "fix" the laggy throttle with tuning, and that tuning was actually the RIGHT way to fix it. Of course, I was attacked by the geriatric Vette crowd that's opposed to crazy things like TUNING. Yikes! Heaven forbid. haha.
So here's the problem... I keep getting guys PM'ing me asking me to "fix" their laggy throttle C7's. I really don't have the time or desire to mess with tuning for others. BUT I have always been about "Learning and Sharing", I think I actually made a thread on here with that exact name at one point. So I wanted to post this little "fix" on the Vette forum for all to enjoy or laugh at, whatever they wanted to do with it. My problem is that I can only find the one tune in my files. Did I actually simply fix it with changes to two tables? Was it that easy? I figured for sure I'd modified the Driver Demand/Desired Torque throttle/pedal mapping tables, but they're bone stock.
Can you guys verify that this is all you do to take the throttle lag away from the C7's? If it is, I don't see why it can't be put out there in the open for all to know. Or maybe it has been already, I honestly haven't been reading anything on here for years.
Thanks guys! Here are the two tables I changed. Basic maxed out values, nothing special...
