Re: Throttle Response??
do you have an aftermarket intake on the car? if so reinstall the plenum chamber that was above the throttle body from the factory. it makes a huge difference in throttle response.
another 50 horses wouldnt hurt either

Re: Throttle Response??
An aluminum flywheel does wonders for throttle response as well.

Re: Throttle Response??
The single best mod i did for throttle response was to swap the stock throttle body for a Focus central 65mm one.Fitted a dragon weapon R induction kit. Undrivable till you get used to it.

Upgrading to the FC 65mm TB and porting the intake manifold to match it will definately improve throttle response. Although, you might not gain much HP.

Re: Throttle Response??
When you replace the throttle body with the Focus TB is it necessary to also replace the intake manifold or will it still run smooth and everything?
