The video will show you that on a roll in 1st and 2nd, the car revs up slow as if throttle isn't even opening up. That's why I don't think SB will help my situation.

I'm perfectly fine with the throttle response of this car immediately once the car warms up after start up. Then after driving for awhile the throttle response becomes sluggish to the point I find myself trying to give it more gas to get it to go anywhere. It's bad when temps are hot out there.

Sorry for going OT in this thread, but just to make things clear about throttle delay versus not getting power when applying 50-80% throttle on a roll. I'm going for another test drive with the tech this afternoon since it's warmer.

[EDIT] Drats... had to reschedule. Hopefully it doesn't get any colder.
could what you are describing, (after things get hot) be heat loss? I dont know if that would affect throttle response or not but I do know it robs you of hp and the ECU changes settings to try and compensate.
