lack of throttle (response) after idle??? I just had the car tuned (at Speed Inc.) yesterday and everything's pretty good. I did adjust my decay after I got back home a little so as not to have the car wanting to take off when I pull up to a light, etc...
But after the car idles for "a bit" I have no throttle response, it takes two "stabs/blips" to get the thing to go or rev.
Can anybody please point me in the direction to make the necessary changes.
BTW- the driveability is pretty damn good and so is everything else it's just the "dead" pedal after idling.

Well, I figured that somebody would have something to say (help-wise) about this.
Anyways I tried increasing VE from 400-1200 first and that was definitely not it. So, I then decreased my 400-1200 VE 5% and seems to maybe be a step in the right direction but still nor entirely the answer. I'll have to keep trying this method and seeing how it works but I also have to have enough time to let the changes take effect, and the car to "re-learn"...
Any other input is still appreciated.

i and a few other people have had similar issues, not sure of the fix, i have to bring mine back to cartek in a couple of weeks to see if we can figure it out...basically before my heads/cam i cut 1.8 60's spinning to after cutting 2.2's bogging lol mph was way up even with the converter not being able to do its job but et's were down because the car couldnt get out of its own way. If we find the anwser in the tune I'll let you know what did it.

God damniTTT! 
I seem to have gotten things a little better but then again the car seem to be "weak" down low. This after lowering the VE table in small increments (from 400-1200), bringing idle back up to 900, and opening the tps screw slightly.
SOMEBODY please help!!!
