Turbo Lag Getting Old

I thought my 2007 6.0L had lag, but after 25,000 with my 2008 6.4L, I have to say this truck takes the ultimate prize. I can hit the go pedal, and make a full 6 foot submarine sandwich with the works, slice it in twelve sections, and wrap three sections before the truck decides to move. Thankful I don't work for Jimmy Johns!

Other than my regens dropping from 500 miles to 200 almost like a snap of the fingers, this thing runs like a sewing machine. I just hate having to brake while gassing it to cross an intersection.

All seems good. Not making oil. Tailpipe clean as a whistle. Have the white smoke on rainy days option (didn't pay for it, though). Air filter clean. Just changed fuel filters. MPG averages between 13-16, with the average about 14.5 to 15.

Can I resolve this lag issue? Sometimes the truck just feels like I have four flat tires and I have to punch it just to get it to move.

Thanks,

Smoke
