My torque converter sometimes seems out of sync with the rest of the world, causing some pausing or lurching when doing repeated suburban stop signs.
I am running linear throttle and I like it. It actually seems pretty similar to how my stock throttle adapted to driving, except that stock throttle seems almost WOT around 50-60% pedal travel. Now I seem to still get around the same amount of acceleration around 50% but there's more and more power available as I keep pressing the pedal. I'm really liking linear throttle, personally.
I never saw any appeal in pedal piggybacks that map everything into less than full pedal stoke so you think your car is faster.  I can say that over the years I have noticed that transmission and throttle behaviour changes depending on how fast you apply throttle too, not just how far. Observe the different behaviour: if you're already rolling at 30mph squeeze the throttle to 50%. Next time do the same but stab it to 50%. Pedal piggybacks will confuse that too, IMO. |
Thanks for the informative review! Btw what is iStep?
