The lag is pretty bad in comparison to other cars like MB.

I'm not arguing about the sprint mod. I'm just saying if SystemShok is experiencing a serious delay like described, it'd be best to have his/her car looked at because it's not normal. I don't know if his/her comment was an exaggeration or if it really doesn't move when its floored.
I am pretty sure this delay only affects SC's from 02-05 with the 5 speed auto.

throttle control
I think the lag is in most lexus vehicles. My SC does this as well so i bought a blitz tc a few months ago but havnt installed it yet maybe i will this weekend and let you all know what i think. I am not looking for a vast improvement but i do want it to get up an go a little easier without having to mash the pedal down so the btc should be exactly what i am looking for.

i'm sure systemshok didn't mean it like he said his is hes just talking about delay we all have. it must make him mad like i get. the delay is there and anything that will help i want.

No I wasn't literally meaning my gas pedal is right on the floor with 3-5 sec delay.. not by a long shot. I was emphasizing there is definitely a distinct delay in power when you significantly push down on the gas pedal for 1 to 1 1/2 secs literally speaking..
I am pretty sure this delay only affects SC's from 02-05 with the 5 speed auto.

Haha that's funny.
I wonder what other cars you drive. But seriously, if you set to ECT power, the lag is not that bad. I drive in ECT power 100% of the time.
Today I rev'd to 6000 rpm redline to embarrass some stupid *** dodge truck driver. That guy was revving at traffic light next to me. In a few seconds I couldn't see him except in my rearview mirror. LOL

hi redliner8
i agree with you. my shipping weigh for my mufflers and x pipe and tips is 10 lbs compared to that big muffler i had and the center cat. dosen't sound like much but each pound we can get rid of, the car will go faster. if you want to go faster weigh is the factor on our cars. lighter rims, exhaust, ect, anything that removes weigh. 300hp will make you go faster, add go slower. thats just the way it is.
