You can achieve the exact same response by simply pushing harder on the throttle! And, of course, the actual engine power is unchanged so the greater response at low throttle openings has to come at the expense of less power at wider throttle openings (wow, I floor it and nothing much more happens).

The Softronic tune will actually produce slightly more engine power but will mostly leave the throttle sensitivity at stock.
