Throttle servo

I agree, but doubt it will be possible for a while...the thing would need reprogrammed, and you would lose traction control, opening the window for lawsuits to the retuner...as much as love my 06, gotta agree the throttle pretty much sucks. my biggest gripe is the 6 second delay at lifting before full engine braking- if its between 65-75 outside and engines cold, mine snaps shut like it should, cackles/pops...sounds pretty cool for about 20 seconds, then its back to normal...I hear much of the delay can be tuned out- hopefully as tuners get more familiar with the internal workings a complete new program can be had- as I understand it, currently most tuners are tweaking pre-specified variables, but things like the throttle servo/global windows/etc are still in the black box part of the flash...eventually someone will fix it- hopefully if enough folks bitch at ford a 'ford racing' approved off road tune will pop up with REAL throttle control/other stuff...time will tell.
