Ok, from a dead stop, when I push the pedal to the floor, there is like a .5-1 second delay before anything happens. This makes for some real bad reaction times. Is this common on the DBW trucks and is there anything I can do to fix it?

My tune cured mine.
So I guess that is just the amount of time it takes the signal to travel from the pedal to the TB? I guess a tune can reduce that time is what your saying?

there is a built in delay time. Electical impulses travel at the speed of light.

And a full fledge tune is the only way to get rid of it? I like my superchips, because I can put the 87 max tune on it for everyday driving and tune it to 91 octane when playing around on the weekends.Originally Posted by RedHeartbeat

I have a DBW truck and I cut .034 light last friday. I dont have any noticable delay when nail it.
just hit when the 3rd light comes on...you'll be fine
I do that at my local track, but at Memphis in October it will be a pro tree. Guess I'll try deep staging and see if I can cut some lights.

Same game, deep staging will likely help you red light. On a protree just nail it when the ambers light. Keep in mind a pro tree is .400 where a standard tree is .500 so on a pro tree make sure you are comfortable with how long it takes from both vehicles staging to the ambers lighting and be ready.

So you are saying you run your tank dry on 87 octane gas M-F, then fill up with 91 octane for the weekend...run it dry, and then fill it again with 87 for the work week? Sounds like a PITA to me. Seriously, it costs like $6 more to put 93 in your tank. Plus your truck will run better, get better gas mileage, motor will run smoother, etc. Switching back and forth is too much trouble. Get a 93 octane custom tune and be done with it!
