Throttle response after TCU tune

I'm not sure if the initial throttle lag, especially off idle, is similar for AWD compared to RWD ... but it's pretty bad for RWD. It was said this is sort of a wet clutch "feature" and not a bug. From a scale of 1 (prior lag) to 10 (normal v8 lag on other cars, which is often non-existent), where did the TCU tune move the throttle lag to?

Please list if you are AWD or RWD if responding. I already have a Eurocharged ECU tune. If there are some other things which can help fix the off-idle lag (maybe a tune with increased timing?), please post those as well. Thanks.

Any responses? Even if there's minimal or no difference, that's a very useful response.

2014 E63S; AMS 100 octane ecu tune; edok tcu tune; BB intakes; dyno tuned
Tcu tune didn't change the throttle lag at all
for me. It absolutely didn't worsen it

I have AMS ecu tune also

thanks for telling your experience ... it certainly isn't supposed to be the main benefit of the TCU tune, but I thought some people were saying it felt better to them
