Can a vehicle have too much horsepower?
Called-------ur right foot !!!!--------common sense operates it !
I was thinking more like,with a gas engine, in no particular order;
a bigger cam to give away some of that low-rpm torque,
or a different throttle-arm ratio, or a stiffer return spring,
Or a better seating position
or a higher stall TC, or a lower stall, or different rear-gears.
Or a slower timing curve.
Or If I had to, a smaller throttle-body, or a two-stage.
But if you have a manual trans that has a touchy throttle,and a carb;
then the first line of defense is a spreadbore carb, and second is to delay the timing. And third is a different intake.
With a factory EFI,I think you might be pretty much screwed.
I had an old Ford 4.0 Explorer that had a funky way of opening the TB. The first 50% of the pedal travel opened the TB about 80%, so when the 4l took off, it seemed pretty peppy, but the truth is that last 20% had nothing in it,lol. Maybe your engine has something like that on it. My 4speed auto Explorer was hard to drive in first gear, especially when taking off from a stop. Second was better, but rolling back into it, after slowing, was always a surprise.
But with a Cummins and mega-torque......... IDK
