In my Prius, i think they call it "PWR mode" even though it doesn't add any power.

I dont think smashing the gas will increase response time. the throttle position will still be in the same position that caused the delay in the 1st place, all you will be doing is sprinting quicker once the delay ends. This seems rather simple to me. By changing throttle position you get an increased response and the cars throttle moves quicker. Its correcting a mechanical issue, not a computer one. The ECU mapping can only do so much. Alot of these pedals are being designed for looks and i can see where some designs may go as far as to hinder throttle response.
i can see why maybe you would want to direct $300+ into another mod and i do see where mapping might play a role in what you are saying. but this makes alot of sense from a mechanical standpoint.
