Throttle response

I have a 5.3 in my 17 Silverado LT. I have been reading around about the performance upgrades. I'm not looking to mod it out to lower status but I would like some increase throttle response. It seems to lag longer than I think I should.

 

I'm in another 17 with a 5.3 (Loaner) and it's the same way. Maybe I just need to get use to it but I would like it to be faster to respond.

 

What do you recommend for this?

So those air intakes or throttle bodies won't really make a difference?

Those things are not going to make a difference on the throttle response it's controlled by computer now. I had a Blackbear tune in my 09 and it was a night and day difference in the response.

Intakes will help a bit. Throttle bodies are a giant waste of money unless you go to a super charger.

Understood. That saves a bunch of money. I'm liking the AFE momentum intake. I saw the black bear article about them testing a bunch of different ones.

I will start checking out tunes but that will most definitely wait until after warranty.

My wife's Toyota Yaris has very quick throttle responsyse. I have to be gentle when stepping on the gas or my passengers will receive a harsh ride. My truck has a more gentle throttle response that always makes for a smooth start up and ride. If I need a faster response from my truck, I simply move my foot a little faster. Enjoy driving your truck. It may perform differently than your previous vehicle but being different isn't a negative in this situation.

Drive the heck out of it! Punch the gas hard every time you drive it. After about 5000 miles, it will learn your driving style and feel a lot better. I tried this and was skeptical, but it works. Also turn off traction control.

Try this. I had so much flex in my pedal it was unreal. Definitely weird compared to my 07 classic. I used a paint stir stick and it feels so much better now. Try this and see how it improves for you.

THis sounds exactly like what i am felling. Thanks for the thread link. When i get my 2 week old truck from the shop ill have to give this a look see.

I installed Sprint Booster and am very happy with the results

 

https://www.sprintboostersales.com/

So I've just been researching this sprintbooster thing, never knew it existed, pretty interesting.

 

My question is though, on a hand held Diablo Sport tuner, there is an adjustment called "throttle boost" which I believe you can turn up to 20%. Does this throttle boost setting on the Diablo Sport tuner do the exact same thing as this sprintbooster thing?

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
