Yeah you're right about that Brian with the launch factor. I figured that there probably wasn't much that I could do. But I still wonder why there's a quicker response with other diesels even low power engines like the old 6.2 in GM vehicles.

It seems like the curve is more linear with other vehicles. actually it is probably the inverse in the 6.2 lol! It looks like it's going to go somewhere when you first step on it and then drops of quite a bit unlike the Mercedes.
