throttle response

I think my 96 Camaro RS V6 3.8L 100k is still very powerful. However the throttle response is slow. Is there anything I can do to make it better?

A tune up, change fluids, and bolt-ons.

Re: throttle response

The bolt on that I thought helped throttle response the most was the exaust, it'll make it rev a lot easier.

Re: throttle response

I found really good throttle response in my K&N CAI.

Re: throttle response

Thanks for the replies. It has an automatic transmission. I need to push hard to get good power.

What's bolt on? How to tune the exhaust? I just did a tune up.

Re: throttle response

A bolt on is almost anything that you can remove or put on your car with bolts, or anything that doesn't get into the engine like heads or cam. You can't really tune the exaust but you can replace it with headers, y pipe, cat, and cat-back.

Re: throttle response

Maybe a shift kit too. A matching stall, gears, and full bolt-ons should do it.
