Plus, according to a member who had a mechanic check a couple things, the signal to the throttle body apparently only lets it open to a maximum of 82% or something like that. I do not know if there would be any advantage to opening it all the way, but it would be something interesting to experiment with.

I wanna connect the throttle to a receiver from my old RC cars and accelerate by squeezing a trigger, give the old right leg a rest

But back on topic, I noticed something else today, especially when going slowly from a standing start, or shifting gears slowly and smoothly. There isn't really a lag in the response, but more of a dead zone in the beginning of the pedal travel, so you gotta get used to that, either release the clutch later, or start accelerating a little earlier. I ended up with much much smoother shifts.
