The 30 mile drive home should help the computer get back up to speed.
So did throttle response improve since then?
I just got this reflash on Saturday and immediately noticed the throttle tip in is much slower (requires more input at the beginning).
Parked the car and drove to work this morning (only 3 mile commute), so probably have less than 25 miles on the car since reflash.

Sort of feels like those Mercedes Benz throttle, requiring lot of throttle tip in to get it to start moving, except now it's throwing off my manual transmission timing. Have not stalled it, but got close to it from not giving enough pedal tip in compared to before.

Hope it goes away or my right foot adjusts to it.
