Wow! I don't know SDL's very well... but is that normal? Sounds a little low. Have you had the timing adjusted? I had the dealer adjust mine a while back (advance it 3 degrees from where it was) and it was much more responsive with less pedal action. I believe I've got mine a hair further advanced (reference the pump to the block) now than he had it and it's faster yet. I'm sure it's helping my MPG because I don't have to put my foot into it as much.
