Seems like those RPMs fall off fast up higher and with the throttle lag it isn't always easy to rev match.

I'd love to have a little more responsive throttle. I know all it does is change the mapping a bit, but if I could see an improvement in throttle response, I'd be interested.
I don't see any difference in how the RPM responds to letting go of the pedal, but I find that the TC makes the relationship between pedal pressure/angle and RPM rise to feel much more natural.

I believe TSloper posted an explanation of the difference between throttle lag and pedal lag in Sledge's DIY installation thread. It's definitely good food for thought.

At the end of the day, it depends on what you consider throttle response. In practice, I believe it just works. Instead of leaving you in a mini-lag-limbo wondering if you should give it more pedal, the needle just jumps. I suppose if you have a determined, quick-acting, and...mechanically unsympathetic right foot, you can overcome the perceived lag. I prefer to reprogram the throttle and let my right foot stay in its comfort zone. It's too bad that sport mode didn't do this for the M6.
