I found another forum for the F450 V-10s and they are complaining of the exact thing we are here. One of them posted a procedure to re-calibrate the pedal to the TPS and servo - which is normally used if either the TPS on the pedal or the servo motor on the TBI is replaced:

Ford Electronic throttle pedal recalibration

The procedure:

- Turn your key to the ON position (not just ACC), wait for the various dash warning lights to go out - but do NOT start the engine.

- Press your throttle all the way down in one smooth motion - just do it at a normal speed (take about 2-3 seconds to hit bottom).

- Let it up, as soon as you hit the bottom.

- Turn off your ignition and wait 3-4 seconds.

- Start the engine up normally and drive.

May have to repeat 3 times for the Computer Training to complete.
This procedure trains the throttle position sensor to the throttle body servo motor.
Unfortunately, the ECM quickly relearns and begins dampening your throttle response again. I just tried it in mine and it worked like a charm for about 5 minutes! You would not believe how crisp the throttle was, it felt like a completely different truck TONS of bottom end, roasted the tires like I power braked it - almost as if there was a real cable between my mashpad and the throttle body. Too bad it only lasted a few minutes

We definitely need to get SCT and Spartan involved to find out if they can change any of the parameters in the TBI dampening.
