Aside from that this bickering back and forth is getting old. Comparing a 2005 stock to an SRT-6 in a drag race is simply silly and doesn't lead to anything. What are we 14 years old??
This is a car forum and not meant for silliness! If you don't have a throttle lag you either have a SB installed or you don't know what the lag really feels like - no other explanation as that and highly simple. Even if someone knew no technicalities about the spring booster and what it does to the car, it would be a noticeable difference to said person when trying a car with and without SB! My 2 cents! Take it or leave...
Comparing a 2005 stock to an SRT-6 in a drag race is simply silly and doesn't lead to anything, I agree he would dust me big-time. On a road course a car that should be slower (on paper) has never beaten a faster (on paper) as I'm sure you know. Never happened. Unheard of.
Cars optimized for 1/4 mile work do just fine on a road course, who does'n know that.
There is no SB installed on my car neither is there any lag in pedal application to throttle blade movement.
It's simply not there, this lag you and others say you experience. A built in lag would be a movement of the peddle with no corresponding movement of the throttle blade. That does not happen. Ever.
Saying it does happen is not a statement of fact. If you confuse a lag with a with a softer drive by wire calibration (than the SB has) then . . . I don't know what to tell you except that you're wrong.
