How bad is the throttle response?? is yours an auto? Have you checked your basics, like timing,cap/rotor, plugs, wires?? There is no adj on the throttle cable, so if theres a problem, its probably not that.

Advancing your timing and installing steeper rear end gears are also time proven ways to improve throttle response [Big Grin]
