I'm sorry to be an internet mythbuster but there is no such thing as a do-it-yourself throttle calibration.

There is however such a thing as "throttle relearn", but it's only needed when the throttle body is swapped out and it requires dealership quality scan tools to perform. But it also has no effect at all on throttle response.

Here is how to reduce electronic throttle lag:

With no money invested-
1.Battery disconnect. 30-60 minutes is good, if you have the time.
2.Reconnect the battery, fire it up and drive it like an absolute maniac. Give it all the WOT you possibly can, as long as you possibly can.
(A dragstrip is probably best for obvious safety reasons)

Not only will the throttle response improve, but the trans shift quality will improve. This is due to the adaptive memory in modern vehicle pcms; If you drive it very easy for very long, the vehicle will learn your driving habits....the throttle will act slow and the trans will shift like oatmeal. If you drive like a maniac long enough, throttle response 'wakes up', the trans shifts harder, and it will feel better to a performance driver.

But, the effect is temporary. Drive it really slow and easy for 3 trips of 50 miles or more, adaptive memory will take over and it will go back to the way it was.

For a more long lasting improvement, put a 77070023 cold air intake on it. Throttle response gets better in all kinds of driving, and I have seen a 25HP gain at the rear wheels with just that one part change, above 5000rpm. I know alot of people say cold air intakes don't work, but that particular one is actually good.
