Clean the throttle body. Pull it and clean it. Clean your MAF while your at it... If all that does not work you may need a TPS sensor or a whole new throttle body. It couldn't hurt to look under your spare tire at the FPDM. If its rotted then that could do it too.
I hope this helps.

I was wondering the same thing, I've got a 2013 King Ranch f150 5.0 & mine shows 17% closed throttle & 76% WOT with the KO/EO.

Just tried this out and what a huge change in throttle response! Can roast the tires with my longbed with a 4.6!

But does it work on the newer models? I've got an 12 with ecoboost. Was just wondering...
