    $600 isn't bad I'll check it out.

    I was just looking into the Split Second kit and it's like $950

    AFM to AMM conversion will increase throttle response (not a whole hell of a lot else though without other mods) the Miller MAF conversion is about the simplest and I think it goes for @ $600.

    I guess I'm looking for any options that wont cost me $1000+

    I've already got a LW Flywheel.

    Shift - are you talking about switching to an MAF system? Would that increase response over the AFM?

    I dont know what to Say, but maybe 1 thing you can do is get a special 4 cylinder motor ;)

    I know it's not the same thing, but a lighter flywheel will feel similar to improved throttle response. The engine will rev up and (especially) down noticeably quicker.

    Delete AFM. As of now, your motor has to suck enough air out of your intake system to lower your intake pressure(vacuum) enough to force your AFM door open more once you hit the throttle...

    This is one thing that contributes to the lag time between when you open your throttle body and when you feel more power. Keep in mind that this is the concept in simple terms and that in reality it's a little more complex.

    How to increase throttle response?

    This has been something that's subliminally bothered me since I've owned this car. The throttle response is pretty sluggish.

    Are there ways to improve this without running ITBs?
