How is traction effected? Start spinning immediately or still a gradual take off first?

Torque Request is the Map controlling your throttle Pedal i.e. How much % Input from your Foot is translated to % Torque Request in the DME to control boost and Throttle Plate at engine.
So you can customize this with the Torque Request Maps fully. I think the Pedal tuner is some piggyback manipulating the signal. Like a workaround to the Torque Request Maps if you cannot change them. Like in a locked map for example.
Throttle Response maps change the responsiveness! There is NO power change. I am really in doubt of any improvement on acceleration times.
It just give you the feeling that the pedal is responding faster to the input. The lag between your foot input and the engine response is changed.
And now mix everything also additionally together. It is a liiiiittle bit complicated. Once you have your perfect response maps you likely reduce torque request or your car will be more jumpy (Quote: CarAbuser

My summary. These maps are a game changer for me as a track driver. Most of the straight line drivers will never need this.
But also. These maps are only essential to enthusiasts that need that immediate response and pedal feel on the curvy country side racing or on the track (not dragstrip).
If you are an enthusiast. You need it. If you are not sure. Forget it. It will not be that important for you.
My 2 Cents about Dean/RFP. You can use those maps as a start. They do not seem to be that great also. They simply may have a little more power than the OTS MHD ones. But this is nothing hard to achieve as MHD is a business and not some garage kid.. They have to be more conservative.
