SUPERCHIPS tuners

HELLO I posted acouple of times about this 1705 tuner, well I have it installed and its cool and stuff but I dont like how sensetive the fuel pedal is. It is almost impossable to drive the speed limit in town without churping the tires ,trying to keep a steady speed on a bumpy road is impossable. my question,Is this normal or should I be contacting superchips?

When I first got my powerstroke I was amazed at how touchy the gas pedal was. After a while I began to modulate it better and smoother. I too have the superchips microtuner for my truck - I didn't notice any additional drivability issues, but I am already in the habit of easing into it and then letting 'em hear the turbo sing! One day, perhaps this coming summer I am taking my truck to the track and testing out the programmer to see if there is a real difference with different programs. I think this programmer is on the conservative side of things.
