Throttle Response Delay

I have an AMR tune, downpipe, etc...but I also have throttle lag that seems to be typical of a CLA.....any fixes for this?

A sprint booster might be worth a shot

Pedal commander has Eco, City, Sport, and Sport +.....each setting has 4 graduated settings within it. ex: Sport +1, +1, +3, +4.......... On Sport+ the car gets touchy at about 25% tip in and it goes like hell. The car is my wifes, she drives it in Sport mode and ads +2....its more like a normal throttle in that mode. I like Sport+ and then +4.....which is a very touchy throttle.(That's wreck it mode I joked about)

Its a 10 minute unstall.....10mm bolt to remove pedal, carefully disconnect pedal, plug commander between....and done!

ahhh might be not that ez, due to the squeezing yourself under the pedals and the seat, not much room out there. ez job , but not ez to access it.

Please can you advise which brand and model / spec is the pedal commander you used?
