Locry,

What kind of modifications have been performed? Any more specifics, like fuel system and engine type?

my motor used to do that...hit the gas in neutral and it took so long to rev up. then i fixed a major vacuum leak i had, and at the same time i changed the advance springs in the dist. for quicker advance, and now it revs up a million times faster...
