Wrong forum buddy. Try a google search if that's what you are really after.

Throttle response is a generic term that describes how quickly your engine responds to movement of the gas peddal. IE: When you romp the gas, there is less lag between RPM increase.

Na, I have a good sense of humor, and I'm all about nailing some one for posting something silly like installing spinners on a Mustang. I just don't get posting on a thread asking for a fairly simple answer if you don't plan on answering. Humor is ok. Humor + an answer is better.

Nothing in the power dept means no big noticeable HP gains I'm guessing, but the gas is touchier than before! When I upgraded my T/B my Throttle response was much sooner. I can barely touch my gas without the car jumping forwards! When you hit the gas and there is a hesitation or delay then you have bad throttle response, something the GM guys have a lot of!

So what about the IAC restrictor plates I have seen around eBay? I don't have an '03 mach which is seemingly always in need. I have an '04 auto. But I could always use more throttle response. Think it would help?
