Well I just recently purchased an 08 tc and I realize that there is some sort of "delay" of the Rpms increasing when I tap the throttle. If I tap the throttle it takes a second ( or under) for the rpms to jump up as opposed to my friends mustang which is basically an instant reaction. I was wondering if there was any sort of tuner or anything in the market to decrease the "delay" time.

No, not really unfortunately. We have a drive by wire throttle...fully electric. One person figured out how to put like a felt piece on the stopper for the gas pedal so that it was always depressed slightly and it actually did get rid of the delay supposedly but after a few cycles of either turning the car on and off or him letting the pedal come to a full rest the little electric position monitor thingy and the ECU learned it and readjusted to where the new "zero" position was at and the delay came back. I never tried it so I can't say yes or no to that. But if you wanna try it here is the link to the thread. http://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=84643&postdays=0&postorder=asc&&start=0
