Throttle Performance

OK...I know I've posted a gazillion posts today :-) but here's one more.

After installing the autolite plugs (3923s), (and removing my Bosch Platinum
+4s), I decided to see how the S/T sounded. There was definitely a change in
response and sound, but also I found that at idle....in neutral...if I stomp
on the gas real quick...there is a noticable delay before the engine revs. I
think my Dak has always done this, but with the new plugs it seems more
noticable.

here's what happens (remember this all occurs within a second or two)I stomp
on the gas pedal...i hear a slight popping/sucking sound from the K&N...tiny
delay...then Vroom! Assuming the popping is associated with the TB opening
up wide, is there typically a delay before the engine actually revs up? I
guess I was expecting(wishing)for an immediate foot/throttle/rev action with
no delay?

Just curious, thought maybe there was a way to adjust this so the delay is
not as noticable.

Thanks again
