The Hypetech everyone talks about on here uses a pedal boost control to keep this fresh all the time. The Diablo programs it into the PCM as well.
Remember these are drive by wire so all the Throttle body sees is a signal from the pcm.
Hope it helps for you. It worked a little on my D when I first got it and it worked Great on my wifes Avenger R/T as well.

Tried this today and it worked, but how long does it last? Do you have to do it once a month? Felt better part throttle repsonse.

It actually resets the parameters and then it learns your driving style.
My wifes has been fine since I did it 3 years ago

Thanks again all. I'm doing the pedal calibration tomorrow. I drove to the cottage this past weekend and got mileage up to 16 MPG from 10, mostly HWY. Costs me $100 CDN to fill the tank on the D. It does suck the gas on light to light driving. The ECO light only comes on after getting into 6th at around a stable 40-60mph. Think I'm going to turn it off as it's a distraction. Guess I shouldn't be stressing economy with the choice of the 5.7

Two round trips to Galveston this weekend. Ttl 432 miles and 19.1 mpg. Top speed 75 mph, with about 50% around 60 mph. Flat terrain. BTW I figured out that the low fuel warning light came on with about 2.6 gallons left to go.
