Default ?s for the quest of throttle response

I know im not the only one who thinks of small things u can do to enjoy the car better.well better throttle response would be a blessing.

Generally a short ram intake usually does the trick for most.hell I've seen some guys just stick a filter onto the Throtlbody and run it like a single itb lol.

I know for my question at the moment I have a MY00 and was there a diff year ap w. A bigger factory Throtlbody I can bolton and not havetp tune.I learned the hard way a long time ago on my prelude jumping from the stock 60mm tb tp a 68mm tb untunedran like crap.

And what intakes pair best for throttl response in yalls opinions.and would modded stock box help?

From years of playing with it on multiple hondas the basic brew for more response for dd autox whatever u do is. Light flywheel, better mounts, slightly better light clutch, slightly bigger tb, sri.this is all for the people who can't afford a tune lol.is there anything else any of u have tried or experimented with for basic dd vehicles that are relatively cheap/affordable things.to help air flow under the hood or anything? I know the prelude community gets Hella creative w. Weird little things and mods to tr and shove air at stuff haha

a testpipe seems to help the throttle response

O forgot more freeflowing exhaust word haha

Like I've seen some guys take high temp tubing like the brake cooling duct stuff and run it from random places and have the outlet aimed close tp the filter of their intakes and stuff.I've noticed when I take an oem intake mani and sandblast it all spotless from years of gunk and rid all the casting flaws and minor porting helps a bit and thicker intake mani gaskets

All breather mods + tune.

lighter pulleys and flywheel to reduce rotational mass/weight.

u might not want to reduce the weight of ur rotational masses....
this may only result in the loss of torque in the mid range which we already dont have a lot of...
He asked for throttle response, not torque. If that's what he wanted I would have answered differently.
