You could go 4:10'S on the rear gears. That will give you more zip out of the gate definitely.
When I swapped out my stock plenum/TB for a Trickflow Plenum/TB I didn't feel all that much difference. I could feel it but it wasn't like gears.

The big restriction from what I understand is in the stock upper plenum, not necessarily the TB. Getting a good TB/plenum combo will help more than just a TB, and it should extend your powerband in the upper RPMs.

How many miles are on the car??? If you have some mileage on her...which i suspect that you may...I have to definitly suggest changing the fuel filter. Best throttle response mod I've done to my car yet. It felt A TON better after I changed it. So try that before you try any of the rest of this stuff.

I doubt the TB alone will do much but along with an upper plenum you get a good seat of the pants gain. I saw 5rwhp and 9rwtq with my BBK 75 TB and Trick Flow plenum. On the pedal mod ...don't even attempt the hose clamp methind. Just use big electrical cable ties on the throttle cable in place of the spacer/hose clamps. You'll be standing on you head long enough without those damn hose clamps to deal with.
K well i went with your method (no clamps/spacers) and man can i feel the difference, in the car as well in my neck lol, works perfectly, thanks for the help.

Yea, 99-04, or atleast thats what the article said. I could be wrong though, wait for verification.
Edit: Im just speculating, but if there is slack on the cable no matter what year, this mod would work.
