What is considered best mod to increase the throttle response?
My 2004 is stock and trying to improve the throttle response not too extensive but in a reasonable cost.
Thanks.

Push harder on the gas pedal?
I don't know, probably some aftermarket CPU chip out there...

Re: improving throttle response
throttle response can be increased by a few things. One is a good tune. Get yourself hptuners, ask questions on their forums, learn the software a bit and take your time.
You can also add an intake, headers/exhaust, TB and intake manifold upgrade, etc. How far would you go with mods?

The cheapest way is to hit the Tow/Haul button. It's like a built-in supercharger.

Just find a local shop that can tune LSX vehicles... just a street tune will really wake it up <---- night and day difference actually!

Or remove about 1500 pounds of weight to improve throttle response.

I don't actually have local tuner who can do this with confidence. So, I am planning on purchasing the throttle body spacer from Airraid. DO you think that will help?
