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.

Yea, I agree with eTiMaGo when he said that there is a dead zone. Man I really really hope toyota comes up with a solution because we shouldn't have to adjust to it. Cars are supposed to get easier/more responsive to the drivers needs as car technology improves not the other way around.

Hmm.. Maybe This will help. I was thinking that because our throttle is electronic, maybe if we decrease the electrical noise, the throttle can become more sensitive. Perhaps even in that beggining dead zone.

What do you guys think?

I have more or less the same thing installed, so it probably does not help so much in that respect
