Re: Throttle Response
When you step on the pedal, does it stumble or hesitate before getting up and go, or is it just steady "vrrrrrrrrrrr" and then ?VVVVVVRRRRMMM"?

like im in third right. so i push the throttle all the way, and i dont feel much difference then when i barely push the throttle. also when i do it with my hand ( pop the hood and push the throttle down) its slowed by about 1 second.

Re: Throttle Response
That's a confusing situation. I have no idea what kind of system you have. If you had a TPI, I could of directed you in a better direction. Sorry man.

How hot is the car?? Like 220 degrees or so?

Keep in mind its only a 140hp car and the throttle responce isnt great when you just mash the gas all the way. Video tape it and I can see if its about the same as mine was when my car was stock.

Id go video tape mine and show you what mines like, but I totally fried my stock fuel pump the other day...opps I guess that happends with 30lbs injectors and a tired fuel pump.

Keep an eye on the brake lines when you drop the axle.

Re: Throttle Response
You don't actually have to drop the axle to get the fuel pump, it is tricky, but you can do it by just lowering the exhaust.
