if sport mode is too much, then the drag strip launch is a bit over the top dont you think?

what the OP really needs is to settle the fuck down and just drive. stop being an asshat at the lights and trying to beat every soccer mom and punk with a ricer.
yeah my whole post was kind of a joke

Does anyone have a fix to achieve better acceleration when you start driving?
As far as strictly better throttle response with no added gains the pedal commander will probably do what you are looking for. It has like 36 different levels of throttle response. City+ mode is noticeable on launch

Just run 93 octane. After 2-3 tanks of having only 93 in the tank you will notice it has more "get-up-and-go". Once I started running 93 consistently I never went back.

But that would have more than sport mode. And OP stated that sport mode was too much.

A tune and a slightly heavier right foot.
A tune can’t possibly help a NA 2.3 liter engine push a 4400lb truck off a light quickly. I say NA because that’s exactly what it is until that turbo spools up. The only thing that could help is to have that thing spooled at the light. The only way to spool it is with more exhaust. More exhaust means more rpm’s. No tune on the planet is going to set the idle rpm to 1700.

Easy fix.
4wd brake boost launch at every light. Don't be scared.

Do you use one and if so how is it with Livernois? Thx

No I just have the Livernois tune, that helps a lot with the turbo lag. I just can't see spend $200.00+ for something that has zero hp gains. No offense to anyone who has bought one but that's just my opinion. :)

I dunno, $30 for 50hp gain using tailgate damper or couple of hundred for a bigger lead foot...Better run a poll:idea:. Thanks!
