diesel pedal
I was getting on to the highway and I gave it like 85%-90% throttle and it seemed to add mo more power after that, like almost a dead space of pedal with no response.Is this a common occurance?WIll a chip help with the throttle response, not just at full throttle but all around?I was thinking the SCMT but I want anything I buy to work right for me the first time without having to try different programmers.Any help?

If you do a search for SCMT you should get all kinds of results. The posts i have read have been nothing but good things about it. You could also try the computer chip forum.

Fairly common. Wherever in the pedal travel the PCM receives the maximum voltage signal will be the WOT position, and pushing the pedal down further will do nothing unless you adjust/reposition the TPS (throttle position sensor) thats mounted on the pedal assembly.
<WIll a chip help with the throttle
>response, not just at full throttle but all around?
Yes.
Something else I just thought of. At your 85%-90% throttle, were you bumping the rev limiter (3400 rpm) or the speed limiter (~94 mph) if you were then nothing would happen with more throttle input and you could forget the rest of the stuff I just typed.
Most (if not all at this point) chips/programmers raise or remove the speed limiter, and some can be custom tuned to raise the rev limiter.
