Default Throttle response...

Is there anything you can do to get better throttle response. I know when my car was bone stock, that from an idle i could hit the throttle and it would just rev. Now that I have all new intake components its not quite like that. I can hit the throttle hear it suck in a bunch of air then rev. There is a desent delay in that function.

Larger volume runners in the intake/heads will do that. Takes time for the velocity to increase. Stick a lightweight flywheel on there and it'll be more rev-happy again
