If you dont want the full power just go 70% throttle instead of >80%...... and trust me after a day with the charger this is very easy to do.
Maybe you know enough about the car to tell me why this is: it seems like I get pretty much full power on my car at about 50% throttle and the response doesn't seem to change much past there, even though a scan tool will show the increasing percent throttle. I usually drive with very little pedal movement and almost never floor it except for autocross, during which I don't really feel like I am getting more power or pull than I do at 50% on the street.

Is the car fiddling with throttle sensitivity based on my daily inputs or something?
