Default Delay in throttle by wire?

Is it just me or is there tiny delay in throttle response on the V's throttle by wire?

Also, the return to idle is painfully long ...

Get a new clutch and flywheel. It will be much quicker.

Skip to 0:13 for the inside view of tach.

I think alot of that has to do with the computer 'numbing' the throttle response in certain situations....I've noticed when sitting still or shifting, response is quick, if I clutch in and coast for a while out of gear and try and blip the throttle response is very slow...I can floor it and there is a pretty long delay, for the most part it will put the rpms almost right on for what gear I'm going into (almost).

There is a actual table in some of the ECM's that controls the throttle control. I adjusted mine since day 1.
