Sounds like something is interfering with the throttle linkage. Take the inake tube off of the throttlebody and check the linkage.

check your clearance between the bottom of your T cable and the valve cover?

I am running a BBK 70mm and I noticed the pedal is stiffer too. I guess though I am comparing it to my 96 I had. The new cars the gas pedal is so easy, I can make quick revs and the pedals bounces back real quick.

When I drive a stick I developed the habit of making quick small revs during take off, and now I consistently give it a little gas until it goes.
