When you said this, it pretty much tells me don't know exactly what your talking about when it comes to the LLT/LFX V6 engines.
The lack of throttle response isn't due to a lack of low end power. Its due to engine and transmission tuning. They use the LFX V6 in the new midsize trucks and everyone complains about how doggy off the line it feels....until they actually tune it. its done for mpg purposes.
The V6 respodse to input just fine...and snaps to attention when you mod for it. Its not like they made it so that it makes zero power down low, and then makes all of the power at 7,000 rpm.
Anyways, not sticking around for this awesome thread, but thought a little ignorance needed to be corrected. Yes...I likely wasted my time lol.
