Default Throttle tip in

Enjoying Scarlett immensely since bringing her home in August.

I had the opportunity to drive my wife's '16 MDX last week and I was surprised at the difference in throttle tip in between the cars as I had not driven the MDX in a while.

The SC seems very unresponsive when depressing the throttle, as compared to the MDX which aggressively responds.

Is the tip in adjustable?

I've seen Throttle Controller on Calvin's SC430Mods site, which seems to allow the adjustment of the tip in. I'm more than a little gun shy about his products as my first experience was less than positive.

Thoughts?

thanks

Have you reset the ECU yet? Or driven in the power mode?

Yes to both.

I'll do the ECU reset again tomorrow. Can't hurt, right?

I had a Lexus LX at the same time as I had a similar Toyota Land Cruiser.

The Lexus had both a slower tip-in to throttle and less of a bite in initial braking. I actually kind of prefer a slower/smoother response - as long as it gets there if I mash the throttle or brake.

I found adding a Sprint-Booster throttle controller really improved the driving experience.
