Once you get the "feel" it will be smooth but having driven other systems with a mechanical connection I find the memory effect from driving them still causes me to almost stall from a dead start once in a while. It does get better with experience. The 370 could be a challenge for someone just learning.

is there a way to change this? i mean is there a way to make the throttle response quicker? it doesnt take that long for the car to rev up but if it could do it faster i wouldnt mind at all.



Here is a link to a fix I picked up in an earlier thread...

Sprint Booster USA - MT

a little pricey but if the claims are correct a fix.
I don't feel any 'delay' at all and question spending over $300 for this "fix" of a "problem" that imho doesn't even exist. Reminds me of those $20 ECU things you see on eBay.
